Complaint / Review
Howard Ely At The National Library Of Poetry - Poetry.com
I have been entering my hard work year after year, thinking that my work was getting noticed, I just thought to check this guy out. What do you know, he has probably taken my hard work for his own profit. What can I do?

I wrote poems for two of my most favorite aunties who have passed away, I actually wrote the poems while on the poetry.com website. I also entered a poem that I wrote for my Uncle's Wedding. I thought, well maybe I would at least get them copyrighted. Each poem I entered received some type of award that I could only get If I purchased from their company.

I am poor, and am living with someone hoping that my talents would elevate me, but this scam has brought me down. Even thought I did not purchase from this company, I gave a part of myself three times and I feel violated. Please someone get them off the web. How do I know when a company is reputable? Do I give up on my dream?
