About contributing your war poems

Welcome to this open-access war poetry website
This is a free access site for any war poet writing in English - members of armed forces, civilians, people affected by war or moved by the knowledge or experience of war. You may be an experienced writer or a complete newcomer. This writers' zone operates like a blog, but instead of leaving comments you post your poems.
It is often a good idea to say a few words about yourself or to tell readers what gave you the idea for the poem.

To start
Choose a section that your poem might be most suitable for, then type in or paste your poem. Put it in the "War Poetry Today" section if you are not sure which section is most suitable. Don't forget to add your name and comments if you wish.

It's all very easy  - even if the following sounds complicated. Try it and see! You will need to click on "Comments" then paste or type your poem in the "Post a comment" box. Select a "profile" from the drop-down list. If you have an account with one of the items on the list please use it, otherwise select "Anonymous" and post your poem. It should appear instantly on this website/blogsite.

There are many poems on this topic on The War Poetry website http://www.warpoetry.co.uk/

Only about war
Only poems about war may be posted here.They may be strongly worded, but not designed to offend.

This WARpoetrywritersZONE is intended to make it possible for anyone who previously wished to add their poems to the warpoetry website to use this as an alternative as very often it either takes a long time for me to add poems or (all too often) poems are overlooked simply because I run out of time to deal with them.
