Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

/r/Verse is a place for you to submit your favourite non-original (ie, not written by yourself) poems. If you're a poet and want feedback, /r/PoeticReddit or /r/poetry are probably more what you are looking for.

Feel free to post in a self post, link to the poem, or submit a video of the poem being performed.
Please don't link to Google Books as some books and poems are geo-restricted.
If your poem doesn't make it through, just message the mods, and we'll approve it for you.

Our mod philosophy is pretty simple. We want to keep this place a clean, simple place to find awesome poetry. We'll block obvious spam, and we check the spam list often, but we aren't going to go crazy with this. Thanks, and welcome!
