How do I request Permission to use a poem? How to contact a Poet? If you are not violating the copyright of the Poet then you do not need to ask them permission. To request permission: Send a email to the poet at: permissions@familyfriendpoems.com. We will then forward your request to the poet; at that point the poet can respond to you directly if they choose. Keep in mind than in many cases the email address we have on file for the poet will be several years old and no longer active, if that is the case then we will not be able to help you. Example:
Subject: Poem Permission Request If you do get permission to use the poem, we at Family Friend Poems always appreciate any mention of our website. |
Where do the poems come from? How do I submit my poem? Poems displayed on the Family Friend Poems website have been submitted to us through the Submit Poem Form |

Are all submitted poems published? Certainly not. Submitted poems are first reviewed by up to 10 visitors on our Review Poem page, poems which have a 4 star rating or higher will then be reviewed by our editors and a select few are posted on our website. If your poem is selected for posting, you will be notified via email. There is a long waiting period for poems to be reviewed (at least 6 months) As a alternative to submitting your poem, we welcome poets to post their poems on our FFP Poetry Forums, where you can get as well as give feedback immediately from our members, a very special group of poetry lovers. |
