                     About 12 years ago I wrote a poem that turned out
very well and has since received many compliments from friends and
family over the years. I'd now like to submit the poem to various
poetry contests and publishing companies for possible publication.I
haven't a clue where to start.When I type poetry contest or poetry
publication into google a ton of options come up.Could someone please
provide me with some valuable input on the subject and a legitamite
list of current poetry contests and current poetry publishers.Thank
you very much for your time and I'll diffently be adding on a nice tip
depending on the value of information.
