In the last month we have published more than 700 poems. Thanks to all the talented poets who trusted us.

Poems may be a great way to connect with our feelings and inner self. Defining our “true self” might be a challenge. Some people believe in the soul or spirit inside them, while others consider their innermost thoughts and emotions to be the essence of who they are. Poetry, however, has universal support for its ability to delve into this aspect of the human experience.

That’s why we are expanding our publication to include works containing a poetic element, whether prose or another literary form. Stories about poetry and the artists who write it are welcome, as well as articles about the history of poetry, the craft of writing, and other topics that can help others who want to write better.

Poetic prose is a collective term for various texts that can be read as prose but have distinctive features that make them look and sound like poetry. We describe it in detail in this article HERE

The Poetic Prose trope is used to describe writing that has a certain poetic quality.

The New Guidelines to be followed when writing for a publication

The most significant changes in terms of submission are:

  1. Only Drafts and Authors who were invited are accepted for publication
  2. Invited authors are asked to subscribe to our newsletter HERE.
  3. To confirm your willingness to publish, please comment under this post.

Meeting the above conditions will allow us to publish as soon as possible.

🟢 Why do quality publications on Medium only accept drafts?

The draft is a story that has yet to be published. Your drafts are automatically saved in your Medium account’s You Stories section. Drafts are private, but if you share the URL with another Medium user, they can read your draft. As an author at The Power of Poetry, you can submit by clicking on the three dots (the below image)

Several thousand readers follow The Power of Poetry, and daily statistics are thousands of views.

We will limit the publications to the best poems, and we will start publishing writing that sounds poetic.

Every comment is an important clue for us, please help us improve by leaving your comments.
