Advantages: Some good poems to read

Disadvantages: Looks awful, hard to navigate, probably a con

==Poetry.com==
I don't usually review this sort of thing, but since i had a look, I figured I'd have a go.

The first thing I noticed when I looked at this site was the incredibly poor layout, it looks like the idea behind designing the site was to ram as much in as possible. the home page definately didn't make me want to stay there.
This very poor design made navigation a very tedious job with lots of miniature font, crammed in hyperlinks that were half covered by advertisments and so called 'poems of the day'.

The website itself is huge, with hundreds of poems that have been submitted as well as extra features, it is an average site if you are in to poetry and are looking for something to read.
However, I wouldn't recommed submitting any poems to anybody who stumbles upon this site, they are asking for quite a few details from anybody who does and I would be very surprised if these are not being sold on. Moreover, this falls under the category of 'too good to be true'. I confess to being a cynic, but I highly doubt that this website is handing out huge ammounts of cash to people just for posting good poems on it.

My advice to anybody reading this is to stear well clear of this site, as it is most likely an identity theft con.

Summary: This is a con.
