Penny's poetry pages About poems are the place on the wiki to read poetry. You can search for a favorite poem or author, or browse by century or country.

Posting poems[]

You are also free to post your own favorite poems here, both classics and poetry that you've written yourself. In fact, that would be appreciated. Just remember our policy: All of the poems we print are either (1) in the public domain in the United States (meaning in most cases that the work was published in 1922 or earlier), or (2) licensed under Creative Commons.

If you wish to add your own poetry, feel free to do so. Understand that, by posting here, you will be granting a Creative Commons license to anyone to freely copy or use your poem with credit. (Fandom's rule, not Penny's.)

Before posting, please read our guide to Adding poems.)

Copying poems[]

If you maintain your own blog or wiki, and would like to copy any of the poems you read here, feel free to do that, too; just remember to credit the author (and crediting/linking Penny's Poetry Pages would be nice, too.)
