A verse with apologies to Joyce Kilmer Now even Joyce Kilmer would assure you and me
We will indeed see a poem lovely as a tree
For Lulu.com launches today
A site on which poetry is on display
It is Lulu Poetry and for poets there will be
Contests to enter, money to win - never a fee
Poets can connect with others and in poetry immerse
And realize success by publishing their verse
www.poetry.com was the name
Of a company no more - Lulu simply bought the domain
It's being completely re-hauled and built anew
To bring the high quality associated with Lulu
A place for poets to create, meet and share
With widgets and resources it's all right there
Need a glossary, some techniques or a word that rhymes?
It's all at Lulu Poetry - it won't cost you a dime
"It's great for all poets," said Bob Young, Lulu CEO
"If you want to be discovered - this is the place to go!"
"With ratings and reviews - it's a platform for their work
And at Lulu they can publish - it's really quite a perk!"
Although launching now, changes will continue to come
As Lulu adds more offerings - this site will be plum.
With the power of Lulu.com - weRead too
Poets can find success and audiences true.
Now we've come to the end of our press release rhyme

"Announcing: LULU POETRY!
Dear Poet,
We are pleased to bring you a new poetry site: Lulu Poetry, www.poetry.com. Lulu Poetry is about winning prizes and recognition for your poems, creating and selling beautiful books of your poetry, and learning tips and tricks from other enthusiastic poets just like you.
Whether you write poems for your own enjoyment or to entertain and educate others, Lulu Poetry is for you. We'll be handing out prizes to poems selected as winners by the hundreds and thousands of poets who are part of the poetry community. When you win we'll send you a certificate for you to print and hang on your wall to remind everyone of your accomplishment - along with a cash prize.
So whether you are quietly writing poems in the northern woods, or are part of a English class studying and learning poetry, you can use Lulu to compile your works for your audience. You may want to sell your poetry to the world, or just create a poetry book as a class fundraiser for the parents of your students. Lulu makes publishing your poetry easy and inexpensive.
Keep in mind this is only version 1.0 of Lulu Poetry. We will be adding great new features and improvements weekly to better serve Poets and lovers of Poetry everywhere, so bookmark www.poetry.com* and visit often!
Cheers,
Bob Young
Founder & CEO, Lulu.com
