Some of my stuff can be found at www.poetry.com just type in my name (Melody Valenti) and a list of my poems that I have posted there should come up...
there's quite a few people under Melody Valenti. How do I know which one(s) is(are) you?
what's the deal with posting your own? Do they automatically get copyrighted? How could any of us go about doing this?
every one that says "melody valenti" is mine.. theres a bunch of them... just to clarify tho, mine r Every Thing I Need To Know I Learned From My First Love, Him, In The End, That Type of Girl, Used To, Only A Matter of Time, Him, Thank You
the deal is u put up ur stuff, its copyrighted as ur own, but poetry.com is allowed to enter them in contests.. i've won a couple which is how i got published...
hmm, awesome! I asked because I saw "melody ann valenti" and "melody fern valenti" besides just regular "melody valenti"
hehe i'm just the regular Melody Valenti LOL
that's the best kind.
SCORE!!!!
wow, I like "thank you" a lot. There's another one like that, and I really like it, too. Good stuff!
thanks :) actully, i just submitted that poem to be published in this literary magazine for my school.. so we'll see what happens, I have to wait till next week to find out if they choose it to be printed or not...
I was in charge of my school's literary magazine..that was fun.
So was I! Editor. That was a lot of fun. We would get hundreds of submissions, and it would be page after page of wannabe goth, my boyfriend/girlfriend dumped me and jesus loves me poems. It was so refreshing when we got something of substance. And we always did.
Although these topics certainly can inspire good poetry, it usually didn't.
I went to look for yours, and i found one of mine from highschool. Man that was a long time ago. How do you read these?
That site is seriously bad. Don't be fooled. Your stuff doesn't get copyrighted, they bury your poem in a 5000 anthology that anyone who posts gets into. Be careful about what you post there because they can do whatever they want with it once it's there and they don't have to tell you.
My sister was posting there for a long time and I got in a big fight with her over what you just said. They put your poem in a huge book and then make you pay to get the book so you can see yourself published.
haha for real? wow ok now i'm taking my stuff off there.. thanks guys :)
