(if you drop in here straight, you need to read the previous parts first to get the whole picture. Start reading with Poetry scam(s), Part I.)

Ok, this was something that I HAD to share with you, because it's the most hilarious thing ever *grins*
Not that I'm a big fan of poetry.com (Duh! after XIX parts of this you should know better!), but I am frequently checking back on their website, to see if anything has happened, and to see if my (or rather Pietje Puk's) poetry is still up there, and if not, to add ofcourse five or six completely stupid poems just to keep their computers and their editors busy with scanning the files and sending me letters, hehehe. That would actually be a good plan, for everyone to just add something completely stupid to poetry.com's database. Imagine if five million poets all would add five or six poems with complete crap, that would overload the website for a bit, I think :o)

Anyway... This afternoon I had a little looksie again there, and guess what? They added this website to their list of Ultimate Poetry links. I remember looooong time ago, before I knew what poetry.com really was, I submitted the website, because I thought it would be an "honor" to be posted among their ultimate poetry links. And now that I'm posted there I find it hilarious, that they actually post a website that reveals their true intentions. Here's the link: wwwdotpoetrydotcom/links/linksmain.asp#O-P (I don't want to feed them a google link, so take the "dot" away from the link). Laugh along.

I'm sure that they don't actually read its contents, so I applied also for a ranking in their topsites, which includes a review of the website. I'm curious if I'm going to be posted and what their review will be...

Keep you posted... :o)
