Complaint Review: International Society Of Poets - International Library Of Poets - poetry.com

Since www.poetry.com has been shut down, where are my poems?! I never had any problems with the International Society of Poets or poetry.com, until now. I don't know where my poems are. I thought they were legit, so I didn't keep original copies of my poems. Whatever I signed up for and paid for I received. I have a copy of the book my first poem was published in, and I even went to one of the conventions in Washington, D.C. in 2002.

I want my poems back, and I don't know how to get them. They were very important to me. I would tell people to check me out on poetry.com and see what they thought of my poems. All of them had personal meaning to my life, and were easy to access whenever I wanted to reflect on the time I wrote them. Now, I can't do that! Who has them, and what are they doing with them. I don't believe all of them were as good as they said they were now, and that kind of hurts. I poured out my heart in most of them. Now, my heart is broken.

How do I get them back? If some of them were as good as they said they were, they being the International Society of Poets, will they be used without my permission? If they are used without my permission, then I believe I have the right to sue them. I want them back! It's like a part of me has been taken away! They were written to show the world a part of me they don't see on the outside. I was also planning on writing a book about my life, including most of those poems at points in the book they meant to be placed.

I need help! Is there anyone out there who can help me? Please write me as soon as you can, if you think you can help me!
