I believe that there are only "cons"!. Somebody said that people were brutally honest-they're not!. Most of them just leave a comment of a line saying they liked it, very few bother to back up what they are saying, because what's the point of it!? Even if you post the fact that the poem is not good in the description and that you need help to improve, they still say they like it lol!.
Brutal honesty is the single most important thing in feedback!. Only in this way does a poet evolve!.
www!.eliteskills!.com is a great site to post poetry-there are some people there who really take their time to analyze your poems!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Con: People may try to take your poems as their but I have already copyright mine before I post on the internet!.!.!.
