4 Outstanding Medium Publications for Poetry
I love everything about Poetry

I’ll be honest, when I first joined Medium, I had no intentions of writing poetry. I assumed no one would read poetry, and it was not an effective way to convey morals. God, I was so wrong. Once I gave poetry writing a try, I couldn’t bear to stop. I have been writing poems every day for the past week, and I feel I can express myself in ways I could never possibly imagine.
If you have never written poetry before, I highly recommend you give it a try. It is a life-changing form of writing and an excellent way to express yourself. I consider poetry as a way to heal myself. Whenever something appears in my mind, good or bad, I find poetry a perfect way to express my thoughts. Here are four outstanding publications where you can write poetry! These are special publications, and I will attach their submission link below if you are interested in reading their content or applying as a writer.
- Illumination
- Followers: 37k
- Why this publication? One of the things I love about Illumination is the diversity of topics you can write and read about on the publication. Poetry is popular on Illumination. There are many poems on Illumination that you can read every day. I cherished those moments and enjoyed writing poems on this publication. You can read those below.

- Why this publication? In my article, My List of Top 5 Publications on Medium, I listed Know Thyself, Heal Thyself as one of my favorite publications on Medium.
- This publication has a special place in my heart because I have wrote many poems about spirituality and life lessons. Not only do I inspire readers, but I also get the chance to heal myself and share my feelings with the Medium community. In addition to that, many others in this publication write excellent poetry with life-changing morals and themes. This is one of my favorite poetry publications on Medium, without a doubt, and I highly recommend you to check it out! Check out some of my poetry on Know Thyself, Heal Thyself below.
