Introduction to Rate Poems
One thing has become clear to us over the years. More than anything, most poets yearn to have an audience for their work. They want their writing “out there” for the world to read. At Poetry Nation, we make that dream come true. In order to receive an audience, however, poets must all do their share. The easiest way to do that is to read and rate poems from other writers.

Rate Poems: Get an audience, Be an audience!
When you upload a poem to your profile, you can receive ratings and comments from other poets. Also, every member can rate and comment on the poems of other members. The more poems you rate, the quicker you move up the weekly rankings. You will increase the amount of attention and traffic your poem receives. So, being active gives poets a voice, provides feedback, rewards involvement, and increases your chances of winning a contest or monthly challenge.
Members who rate more poems will see their own poems move onto the home page. To keep things fair and competitive, you will have your status (level of involvement) reset each week. Every member can vote for themselves one time per poem.
Rate Poems: Guidelines
When rating poems, consider how well the poem grabs your attention. Also consider creativity as well as the use of strong, distinctive language and various poetic elements. Read our guidelines to get an idea of how our judges look at and rate poems.
