- It’s The World’s Best Daily :
The most popular daily poetry magazine, in print or in pixels, in the whole wide world. At least, I haven’t been able to find another daily magazine of just poems, so the claim seems legit. - It’s Economical
The verbs are half price, and for every noun you buy, you get one free. Most poems come with a coupon for a free poem redeemable the next day. - It’s Diverse
We have contributing poets from every continent, except Antarctica, where the penguins are having trouble with their WiFi - Your Ad Blocker Works Fine
You’ll notice that your ad blocker is working great on the site. Nary a single ad will get through.
(Those without ad blockers are also noticing this). - Breadth of Skills
Works of both polished masters of nuance and subtlety as well as hit-you-over-the-head literalists delivering simple insights into life. There is beauty in watching a new poet develop, and a seasoned one ply their craft. Click the ‘like’ hearts and show them some love. - Wealth Breeds Wealth
The contributing poets are all fabulously wealthy, and include get-rich-quick advice encoded into every poem. - Illustrated Words
Medium’s very visual presentation encourages a nice interplay between the words our poets write, and the image they choose to accompany them. - It’s Popular -Everyone Is Doing It.
We’re growing fast, with more than 14,000 subscribers tuning in, and more than 30,000 poem-reads every month.
[edit: lately 42k subscribers and 51k poem-reads!] - Sheer Word Power
Don’t like a poem? Take a look at the next one. With more than 300 poets contributing, the combined word-smithing power is equal to a small nuclear reactor. - You Might Miss Something
If you don’t read today’s poems, they’ll scroll down the page, and pretty soon you’ll have to use your mouse to click (or finger to tap) a few times to get to the ones you’ve missed. It’s exhausting work — you’d best save yourself the effort and read them as they show up. Check it out now!
