First Verse is the place to find the best new poems every day; written and read by real people. Post your own work, get popular poems in your inbox, and tip other poets.
Hey PH,
I built First Verse because I was tired of submitting my poems and not hearing back for months, and because I was really frustrated by the UX on poetry boards.
So this is a place to post your work and get feedback quickly from real people; not from poetry teachers, but from readers. And if you're a reader you can check out new poems every day on the site or get them in your inbox.
The goal is for this to become a supportive and constructive community; so comments are gated for a few days to prevent negativity (nod to the old PH days) and you can tip poets directly without fees (we get none of the money).
**A few other points you might want to know:**
- Post a poem in minutes. No reading fee, no months-long wait. Every poem is checked for safety and authenticity. If it's safe for everyone and genuinely yours, it publishes quickly.
- Build a following. Readers star the poems they love and follow poets they want to hear from again. Every poem gets its own page, and you get your own custom poet profile page.
- Get a private craft evaluation of your poem: scored, specific, and never shown to anyone but you. It's not perfect, but so far it is directionally helpful/interesting and we'll keep improving it.
- Tips go to the poet. 100% of them. We never handle the money or add a fee.
- Your poems stay yours. You keep the copyright, and nothing you write is used to train AI.
- Reading is free and posting is free.
Thanks so much for checking it out!! 💖
