Many thanks to Pamela Lamppa for her splendid graphics! WHAT'S NEW AT CREATIVE-POEMS.COM? First, please be aware our staff is currently emphasizing our site's requirements for providing proper credit to all sources of links and digital articles in poems and profiles. For example, if you link to photos, you must name the photographer who's work you are using. If you use MIDI's, audio, or video files produced by others, you must identify the author and copyright owner. There is a Forum update outlining new requrements right here. This issue has become increasingly important and lawsuits have recently forced some rather large and popular sites to adopt stricter requirements. Here at Creative-Poems, we have a tradition of requiring proper citations. This affects all submissions immediately and all your material should be put it into compliance by May 31. Non-compliances are subject to removal. If you need assistance, please notify a Moderator or Administrator. Violations are considered plagiarism and are taken very seriously here.

A professional poet will be attending this workshop along with a small group of other writers chosen from the province. Congratulations, Barbara! Second, is our huge honor to thank both Sandy Hradil and Sherri Emily for their permission to use their wonderful SIG image libraries.

Although you are not required to in this case, it's good practice to show your appreciation to them as you should any other artists, by including their names in your "About" section. Third, with regret I announce the resignation of Barbara Demasson . Barbara has worked hard as your Assistant Administrator for over a year. A tireless worker, one who always stepped up to the plate to give her full contribution. Barbara has served her term and now wishes to get back to her wonderful writing. This is a taxing position, folks, and we can only ask just so much of our best writers before they deserve a chance to rest and just enjoy the poetry that brought us all here. Creative-Poems.com owes her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Join me in thanking her! Fourth, be aware the Terms of Service Agreement (TOS) has been revised. Users are required to identify the owner of any content (including, text, lyrics, poetry, images, or music) they type, link to, or upload to our website. In the latter case, they must also prove they have the permission of the owner. This information goes in the "About" area. This applies to new and old work. This is a condition of Service. Users of images within the SIG's of Sandy Hradil or Sherri Emily are, of course, exempt from this condition as they have granted our users permission to use their work here. We would encourage you to thank them anyway in your "About". Don't wait to comply, particularly if a large number of items are involved. New work will be screened closely for violations and warnings will be issued. Ultimately, accounts will be at risk of suspension for non-compliance. Treat other artists as you would wish them to treat you. Check the Forum for additional discussion. Fifth and finally, Gold Dust Magazine is looking for submissions into their 2006 Calendar. All are encouraged to send worthy news to Administration! |

Update (date) |
Dear Members, I would like to thank the membership for expressing their love and dedication to Creative-Poems by way of correspondence, poems, and the financial support that was needed to pay the taxes. I have decided to keep the site up and running for three months as a trial run to see if the interest and support of the premium membership is consistent. I am pleased to announce that a new programmer is in place and changes will be evident within the next few weeks. Please watch for information regarding the start date to send premium membership fees. Please DO NOT send them until you see the start date/ information posted on the home page. Once again thank you all for your support. Sincerely DKO |
Important Message (date) |
I am sorry to inform you that Creative-Poems.com may close down. We no longer have a programmer and I have a lot of personal and financial issues going on. Without a programmer I can't get the premium membership service up and to get a new programmer it would cost a lot of money, which I don't have. I also owe over $1000.00 in state corporation taxes for the site, which I have to pay out of my own pocket. So to keep this site running is just not worth it to me anymore. I am sorry for those who are saddened by this news. I will keep you updated of when the site will close. It will not be until Mid April or May. I want everyone to be able to make backups of their work. |
Update (date) |
Update: 2/9/05 – WYSIWYG Editor is fixed. Stats are fixed. You can now use all the cool features of the WYSIWYG Editor. Please read the help manual to learn how to use all the features. |

This section will show 10 different poems every time you change a page and display poems that are without comments or have a low number of comments. Also displayed on the left side will be, “Random Authors” which lists 10 random authors every time you change a page.

Hello Everyone, Due to the total lack of respect from some teens the CBox has been disabled.

The CBox will be available for Premium Members only.

We are trying to make Creative-Poems more organized. We want members to be able to go straight to the poems they want to read. If you have any category ideas, please post them to the forum.

Login and click on Manage Poems. Then find the poem you want to move on your list and click edit.

I would like to make a special thank you to Nathan (Poetic Soldier) for donating $105.00 for March; without that we might have not reach the needed amount. Regards, Dennis O'Gorman President |
Important Updates (date) |
Dear Members, We are pleased to announce the re-opening of the explicit category and the opening of the Adult category. After a member made allegations that this site was in violation of certain laws, and threatened to have Creative-Poems charged and prosecuted, we felt it only proper to close the explicit category down and conduct an investigation into these matters. Due to the extensive research in regards to the laws, we have found it necessary to implement new procedures in order for this site to remain in compliance with federal and state laws. The new procedures are as follows: Explicit Category: Poems that may be offensive, vulgar, intense use of profanity and violent poems must be placed within this category. Any poems containing contents of violent nature, such as threats to another's life or threats to cause bodily harm to a named another maybe deemed illegal and punishable by law. These poems will be deleted immediately with or without further notice. Adult Category: Any and all sexually explicit poems must be placed in this category. Members under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited from posting and viewing within this category. Age verification will be required before entering and posting these types of poems. Any member that provides false or inaccurate age and birth date information will be immediately removed and banned from this site, and all submitted poems will be deleted permanently without notice. Age Verification: All members must submit and update their true and correct age with birth date. Members will have the option of keeping this information private from other members. Any member found to be providing false or inaccurate age and birth date information will be immediately removed and banned from the site, and all submitted poems will be deleted permanently without notice. To update everyone, these past few weeks we have been policing through the explicit category, moving poems to their proper places, and removing any poems that may be deemed illegal. I would like to take this moment to apologize to any members that may have had a poem removed due to violent content directed to an un-named other. Some poems that contained violence towards an un-named other may have been removed prior to the conclusion of our investigation into this matter. Please be aware that any sexually explicit poems submitted by members under the age of 18 have been removed and will not be accepted if re-submitted. A lock will be placed on any adult poem submission that does not have an age verification. Most importantly, due to the new procedures that have been implemented, we have sustained a higher expense in order to remain in compliance with all laws. The account funds are dangerously low at this time for the month of February. If worse comes to worse, I will close the site down come March and remain closed until I can save enough money to operate and maintain the site once again. In closing, if we do not have the full cooperation of the members in regards to Age Verification procedure, we will be forced to permanently close the Adult category and all sexually explicit poems will no longer be accepted. We do apologize for any and all inconvenience this has caused members, but we do appreciate your patience and cooperation. The decisions made on these new procedures are deemed final by the Administration, and are not up for discussion. These have been made to guarantee that we remain in compliance with any and all laws. Sincerely, Dennis O'Gorman President |
Profile Pictures (date) |
Dear Members, Due to the numerous inappropriate pictures being posted on profiles, we have created a new system for monitoring the profiles. Effective immediately, any picture submitted for your profile must be reviewed and accepted by the Administration before it will be added. In accordance with the Terms Of Service, Creative-Poems.com gives each author the choice to post his/her picture to his or her profile. All images are required to be of good taste. Pornography, nudity and partial nudity are strictly forbidden! Your time and consideration are greatly appreciate with this matter. Sincerely, Dennis O'Gorman President |
Site Reopening (date) |
Dear members, Welcome back! We are looking forward to a fresh beginning for all. Hope you all relaxed during our break and are ready to post your poems. *It has been recently brought to our attention that poems containing any threats to cause bodily harm to another are deemed illegal and punishable by the law. We are now in the process of policing through all poems to have these removed. The Explicit category has been disabled until further notice due to this ongoing investigation. Please be aware that your poems are being stored and will remain intact. You will have a notice saying that your poem does not exist, it is there! It will only be removed if it contains content of violence against another. At this time, explicit poems will not be accepted for submission. They will be deleted immediately without further notice. We do appreciate your cooperation in this matter and apologize for any inconvenience. Regards, Dennis O'Gorman President |

Site Changes (date) |
Dear Members: I have already gotten several complaints about the new "Who's Online." The reason it is no longer listing names on the right hand side is because I need to make room for advertising. We are not getting enough donations to keep the site ad free. In order for me to collect money for ads I need to have them in a good spot. I am trying my best to keep this site running. There will be several format changes do to advertising. |

To All Members, I have prided myself in being able to keep this site banner and ad free for everyone's enjoyment. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds and donations, this option will not be available much longer. I can not stress enough on how important donations are in maintaining this site each month. All other sites advertise to keep their sites going. Looks like I may have to do the same. If advertising doesn't work, then Creative-Poems will have to close. Sincerely, Dennis O'Gorman |
IMPORTANT NOTICE (date) |
To all members: Due to numerous continuing problems with the Short Stories Category, we must regretfully inform you that it will be discontinued on Wednesday October 15, 2003. Please make sure that you have backed up your short stories, as they will be removed. Sincerely, Dennis O'Gorman |

Dear fellow members, We are now on our very own Dedicated Server. Please help support this site by making a donation. Thanks, Dennis O'Gorman |
Update (date) |
To all parties concerned, I am happy to announce that the technical difficulty within the site has been temporarily repaired. Unfortunately, I can not guarantee as to how long this will remain in good working order. When this site was built we had no idea that it would grow as quickly as it has. As everyone has noticed, due to the problems, the site has not been able to sustain this growth. Within the next two months we are planning to rebuild the site and to be operating on our own server. We need to begin from scratch to make this an awsome community for all to enjoy. This is something that will take time and finances in order to reach this goal. We ask that everyone show their support by being patient as we conitinue to work on the site and by donations. Any and all support is greatly appreciated. I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Dennis O'Gorman |

Topic of the Week Contest (date) |
*Please Note: There has been some confusion about next weeks 'Topic of the Week.' You cannot submit just any poem. The poem must be about Creative-Poems.com. September 1, 2003, is Creative-Poems.com one year anniversary. So, for example write a poem about your stay here, why you like it so much or has it helped you in anyway. Something about your time at Creative-Poems.com. All other poems that are submitted will not qualify. Please do not submit until the new Topic 'Creative-Poems.com' starts on August 31, 2003, after 9:00 pm. Thanks, Dennis Hello everyone, Next week's Topic of the Week will be like no other. Beginning August 31, 2003 at 9:00pm and ending on September 7, 2003 at 9:00pm, the Topic of the Week will be “Creative-Poems Anniversary." For this one week only, the 'topic' will be a contest. I will pick one poem that I feel is outstanding and based on creativity, originality, concept, spelling, punctuation and format. Only one person can win. The winner’s poem and bio, along with optional photo of winning poet will be published in Skyline Magazine. The winner will receive an author copy of the magazine and a $25.00 cash prize. Skyline Magazine will be offered here on the site for other members to purchase if they wish, for $5.00 plus $2.00 shipping. If you would like to participate in the contest, please send me an e-mail containing your name,username and the title of the poem you posted. Include a brief bio, telling readers a bit about yourself, so that we are prepared to make deadline for next month's magazine issue. Please send e-mails to contest@creative-poems.com All interested poets, please remember to post your poem to 'The Topic of the Week.' *You MUST email me a brief bio to enter the contest, and tell me if you are including a photo. Photos must be sent via email to ensure includion in the magazine. Thanks, Dennis |
Important Message to all Members. (date) |
Due to overwhelming request I have implemented a new rating and comment procedure. Those wishing to comment or rate a poem will be required to do both. One will not be able to be made without the other. |
Attention! (date) |
Due to the confusion and obvious lack of interest in the "Short Poems" category, it has been removed. All poems that have already been submitted to this category have been moved to the "General" category. This means that all poems submitted that are not Explicit, tongue twisters, or quotes will be listed in the "General" category. You will still, however, be limited to three poem submissions a day per category. We understand that this may be an inconvenience to some but imagine that it will inspire people to post only their best work and will allow for more viewing for everyone in the end. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience. We strive to make this site the best it can be and this change is a result of suggestions and comments from members like yourself. Your comments and suggestions are always encouraged. |

Update (date) |
Dear Members, I am proud to announce a change in the Creative-Poems.com staff to a new position which was created to help me with the administration of the site. She will be responsible for moderators and insure that site policies are maintained. She will also help make decisions on this site and any emails related to conduct, concerns or suggestions can now be sent to her also. She will have the same responsiblitlies and rights as I do and can remove any member who does not comply with the sites Terms Of Service. I will still be totally involved with my site and will be available to all members. Due to changes in my personal life, I decided to ask for help until I can get these issues resolved. I would like all of the members of this site to welcome our new administrator as you have all accepted me as the administrator of this site. Please welcome Victoria Trevena to her new position and please extend to her the same respect that you do me. All e-mails sent to webmaster@creative-poems.com and support@creative-poems.com are received by both Victoria and I. I have also posted this message to the forum, if you would like to comment please go there. Click Here To Comment On Forum Regards, DKO |
Most Popular List (date) |
Dear members, I regretfully inform you that I have taken down the "Most Popular List". We have once again encountered problems with members cheating. Names will not be mentioned, but those doing this know who they are. I greatly apologize to those being affected by this. I know it's unfair, but it has become more of a hassle then I intended it to be. For the future there will not be a most popular poems or poets list based on hits or rates. This is not up for discussion and I do not want an issue being made of it. It's a simple matter that has been dealt with. There has been many upgrades with the forum, PM system, "about the poem", and even more to come. I in time will find a new feature to take the place of the "Most Popular List". So I hope you all understand. I have put a lot of hard work into this site, in trying to keep it up to date and maintaining it. Once again, please accept my apology, but I feel this is only for the best. I have also posted this message to the forum, if you would like to comment please go there.

New feature: Picture for Profile (date) |
You can now upload an image to display in your profile next to the "About Me" section. Please note that this image must be in the JPEG format, cannot be more than 50KB, and if it is larger than 250x200 it will be scaled down to fit in the profile, but there will be a link to view the full-sized image in a new window. Enjoy. jogler |
Forum (date) |
I would like to inform you that the forum is now live. You can find the forum on the menu to your left. The forum area is where you can have discussions or post messages. Remember do not use profanity or offensive content of any kind. The poem post area will now be for poems only. Any members that post something that is not a poem will be removed when noticed. There was a large request for forums, so please use them. |
New Programmer (date) |
I thought I would introduce myself as the new programmer. My name is Kevin Roberts. There, done. :) I'm not the best when it comes to words, which is why I'm doing the backend and leaving all of the poetry writing to you guys (keep up the good work). You've probably noticed a few new features popping up here and there over the past few days, along with a few bumps in the road, the most notable feature being the PMS, and the most notable bump being a few minutes here and there where you get weird errors appearing on the page (yep, those were all my fault). Hang tight and I'll have a message board and who knows what else for you all in the next few days. -jogler |
Updates (date) |
There is now a limit for posting poems. The limit is 3 poems per category each day. We also now have a PMS (Private Messaging System). You can now send messages to all members within this site. Many features will be added to the PMS. To send messages simple go to any members profile and click on Private Messaging "send member a message". The Most Popular section will be reset every week on Monday mornings. Many more features will being added this month. |
Featured Poets - Donations (date) |
I have decided for all members who donate, as a special thank you, I want to feature you on the main page for the month that donated in. What I mean by that is there will be a section called featured poets, if you donate you will be put on that list. For those who do not want to be on that list please let me know when you donate. I just would like to thank you all for your support.

Send this poem to someone! (date) |
You can now send the poems you like to your friends. By using the "send this poem to someone!" feature located on the bottom of the poems. |
Poems being added (date) |
We recommend that you add no more than 3 poems per day in order for the readers to be able to read AND comment on them. Too many poems added in one day makes it harder to read them all and we would like to give them the time and consideration they deserve. Recommended if you want more feedback on your poems. |
