Anyone who want's to have their poetry posted here is welcome to send me submissions via Email at poetry@davidmcl.id.au
It is now OK to send me attachments as I now have a virus checker and
firewall program - the reason I didn't want attachments was to help prevent virus
infection as at the time I didn't have a virus checker.
I still can not guarantee font and formatting because I still have to turn it
into html to post it on the site - at the very least if you have an unusual font make sure
you have the embed true type fonts option selected in the save options in word when
you save the .doc file (go to tools - options - click on the save tab, and select the
check box for embed true type fonts - go OK and then save the document)
I will try to do my best to preserve the look of the poem when I post them but
remember the settings of the end users computer and browser also still can have a big
effect on how an html document will look.
Obviously as web master of this site I reserve the right to decide what to post here, however I will basically try to post anything that is sent to me as long as it is not offensive or defamatory. If you are wondering who decides what that means, I'm afraid that's Me - on the grounds that I can't afford to be sued by anyone. I certainly won't attempt to make any artistic judgments on anyones poetry - since I will probably post some of my own poems here as well.
Also, please bear with me if it takes a while for me to post poems I receive, I tend to go in fits and spurts when I am updating my web sites, depending on how busy I am.
