Poems may have no more than 70 characters per line. Age is not a criteria. On ACEKids, poetry contest winners receive T-shirts and publication. The Starlite Caf accepts all poetry. Poets of any age can choose color, font, and background for their text.
Users can also include a feature that enables readers to rate their poems.
Poets can create online portfolios of all of their poetry, and the site tallies the number of people who read each poem. I never expected the site to grow as much as it has. Right now, we're averaging from 500 to 600 new poems a day. Starlite Caf also links to tons of other Web publishing sites. No academic prerequisite is necessary, and the one-day training session is free.
