	Poets' Corner		A well designed site, with a lot of great poetry. Categories include Love, Insight, and Nature, as well as a very interesting Interactive category (visitors add their own stanzas to existing poems). They also have a chat room (not terribly active the few times I was there), and a great Search feature so you can look for just the right poem to suit your needs. All in all, a very nice place to visit!
	The Web Post -- Love Poems		The only category here is - you guessed it - Love Poems. It's not a fancy site, which makes it easy to navigate, and you won't find hundreds and hundreds of poems (unless you visit their alphabetized Archives). But those that are there are nice ones. There's also a Top Ten feature worth checking out.
	Romantic Poems and Poetry		This web site is a hodge-podge of romance, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. You'll find poems by the greats (Shelley, Shakespeare, Lord Byron), as well as those by the aspiring, sent by visitors like you and me. They also have sections on Romantic books, movies, and songs. Ah, one would fall in love again ...
	Severed Deception's Poetry Forum		A beautifully designed site, with lots and lots of poems to read and enjoy. The poems on this web site are organized by Author, rather than category, so be ready for a LOT of browsing. The good news is - it will be time well spent. There's also a nice discussion board so you can talk about the poems, too.
	Stars In The Night		Poems can be submitted by email, or you can browse through the dozens and dozens (maybe hundreds!) of poems others have already submitted. Organized by Author, rather than category.
	Writer's Block		When you click on this link, go get a cup of coffee. It takes a long time to load, but that's largely because there's a lot of things to explore. This site focuses on new writers (not just poets), and everything is categorized by Author. A wonderful touch here - a photo of the author is included, so you can attach a face to the work. A really wonderful web site to visit!
	Crystal`s pages of Romance,Love Poetry and Flowers		Crystal has put together a fascinating site, using frames to highlight a number of related sites as well. Poets, of course, should visit the Love Poems section, but don't ignore the section on Romance while you're there. Especially the wonderful page on saying I Love You in just about every language known to mankind.
	A Little Poetry		A Little Poetry presents a wide variety of contemporary poetry, including poets from around the world--from famous faces to burgeoning beginners. Features include a Poet of the Week and a Poetry Site of the week.
	Lovestories.com		You could easily spend several days here, perusing the articles and diaries and even a recipe or two. And that's before you even get to the 12,000 poems, submitted by over 5,000 poets like you and me. Can you say WOW???
	The Bridge		The Bridge publishes exciting new poetry, fiction, art and photography - with the self-proclaimed distinction of being real and gutsy rather than glitzy or glamorous. This link takes you to their Current Issue (monthly), but be sure to check out the Library for a whole lot more great poetry and art.
	Beyond The Mist Poetry Page		This site hasn't been up long, but they're quickly building a good list of poems. Read those already posted, or submit your own.
	The Amateur Poetry Journal		Their front page pretty much says it all. "Discover poetry from the new talent that is rising into the new millennium. These are the poets whose voice will echo far into the future. Listen to them. Hear them. Learn from them. Find your niche in the world of publishing. Let your voice, your thoughts be heard by those entering our pages. Submit your poetry and be seen! Read our articles and Learn! Enter our contest and Win!"
	The Poetry Emporium		If you like cute, you'll love Andrea's home page. She features poetry by herself, by personal friends, and some submitted by people like you and I.
	All Things Literary		Michelle has a lovely home page, featuring her own poems, poems submitted by others, and a small workshop where she gives some wonderful tips. If you do nothing else while you're there, check out her poem titled "Closer."
	Pete's Best Loved Poems		A wonderful collection of poetry, organized by author or title, and ranging from the famous to collections submitted by every-day people like you and I. A very nicely designed site, too. Recommended!
	Electronic Poetry Center		Put together by University at Buffalo, the EPC "serves as a central gateway to resources in electronic poetry and poetics produced at the University at Buffalo as well as elsewhere on the Internet." At first I thought this site was simply hard to navigate. Then I discovered they have over 23 GIG of information and poetry on line, and I realized it was simply too darn BIG. Warning - try to limit yourself to just seven or eight hours at a time or else your eyes will will be crossed like mine...
	Poetry From The Heart		Connie has a nice site, with some beautiful poetry by herself and others who have submitted. I suggest visiting this site late at night, when the Internet is slow and the mood is right.
	Farvin's Masterpiece Palace		A *very* impressive web site, with beautiful graphics (okay, so it's a bit slow) and exquisite balance. Oh yea, there's a darn nice collection of poetry (and other stuff) lurking beneath the beauty, too!
	Skater's Poetry Corner		Ice skating poetry for figure skaters by figure skaters and fans. But if you're not a skater or fan, you'll still love the heartfelt poetry. Warning - lot's of in-jokes here, but they're worth taking the effort to decipher. LOL.


	Personal Poetry		Web sites featuring the work of one or several artists.
	WoW (Words of Wisdom)		This web site, put together by one of Passion's resident poets, contains some very worthwhile poetry.
	The Unknown Poet		Another site by one of our resident poets, with links to others and some submitted poems. Be sure to check out the section on romantic poems.
	Nan's Morsels		It's not always easy to find a personal web site where the poetess is delightfully witty, insightful, and a versatile master of poetic form. It's even harder to find one with four generations of wonderful poetry to peruse.


	Classic Poetry		These sites feature the wonderful poems of well-known and recognized poets.
	RedFrog - Poems from the Planet Earth		This is an extremely extension collection (database) of poets and poems, though I would hesitate to call many of them "well known." But obscurity doesn't take anything away from greatness, and if you're looking for exactly the right poem, this would be the best place to finish (if not start). They have a very nice Search function, and a wonderfully complete Biographies section.
	Poetry Super Highway		Featured poets, with an archive of past Features. Most of the authors are published, if not yet world famous. Some really wonderful poetry here!
	Love Quotes: Love, Passion, Romance, Desire, Seduction, and Beauty		Don't let the title of this site fool you - many of the "quotes" are wonderful, often famous poems. And those that are not? Those that are not may well provide the inspiration for YOUR next poem.
	Poetry Cafe: Wide Load Of Poetry		Wide Load of Poetry ranges from talented newcomers to more widely known poets, each on a big single page. The collection showcases one (and frequently more) examples of their work, with limits set by loading time and readability.


	Other Kinds of Writing		Web sites dealing with writing in general.
	e-Writers.Net		You'll find information, links and activities for readers and writers. This site is not only for those who write for the online community, but for those who use the Internet for networking and research as well.
	The Book Group List		If you love books (and what writer doesn't?), you're going to love this web site. All they talk about is books, books, and more books. Subscribe to their newsletter and they'll send you reviews of the latest and greatest books. And some not so latest, too.
	NovelAdvice		Want to learn more about the craft of writing? Hey, who doesn't. Well, if you're willing to part with a little bit of green, this site offers courses and workshops totally devoted to the craft of writing. Are they worth the money? Maybe one of their alumni will write and let us know...
	Writer's Corner		Only visit this site when you have lot's of time to spare, 'cause you won't be leaving it soon. There are a ton of articles posted here, all on writing, and every darn one of them is well worth your time. Highly recommended!
	Writers Write		This site is about books and the publishing industry as much as it is about writing. Every month, they post several interviews with published authors, and they have a lot of good articles in their archives as well.
