The Creative-Poems website is a great site, where you can receive recognition for your work through member comments, weekly Featured Poetry Awards, and quarterly Poetry Contests. They do not pay for the poems they post, though they do offer prizes in their Poetry Contests.

At Creative-Poems, non-premium (free) members--as well as trial members--are allowed to place up to four posts on their site in a 24-hour period. (Premium members are allowed eight). This is somewhat misleading, though, and requires a bit of clarification.

At first glance, it would appear that you'd be able to post up to four (or eight) poems to the site every 24 hours--and this can, indeed, be the case, provided you are very careful not to leave any typos or other errors in your poem, which might require its modification after it's been posted! The reason for this is that, should your poem require editing after posting, you will be resubmitting it after making your corrections--just as if it were a new poem--and thus you will be using another of the finite number of posts you are allowed daily. (This can be a bit frustrating.)

If you're anything like me, you could use an infinite number of posts to edit, modify, correct, and improve your poems to your satisfaction before final submission! But, alas, this is the real world, and every website is set up differently. So, always preview your work before submitting, to be sure your formatting is the way you want it and your work contains no typos. (Occasionally, you'll miss something and need to resubmit--we're all human--but at least you'll know that you aren't wasting most of your posts simply correcting errors!)
