All 6 rules of r/OCPoetry
- Original work only.
This subreddit is for Original Content only. Please use our sister sub /r/Poetry for posting other poetry content. - Basic Civility
Treat each other with kindness and respect. The mods have an incredibly strict definition for each of these concepts. They will remove comments/posts and ban users that make others feel unwelcome or unsafe. - All posts must include two links to recent feedback.
This subreddit is an online poetry workshop. It works on a "give feedback to get it" basis. To post a poem, you must first give feedback to other poets here. Every post must contain two links to comments/posts on this subreddit where you have given feedback. Do not reuse links. The feedback must be from the last two weeks. All posts without feedback links will be removed. - Feedback must be high-effort.
We expect every linked feedback comment to show effort. You don't have to write a novel, nor do you have to be a poetry expert. But we do want to see that you have tried to notice your reactions to the poem, and then tried to explain them. [Here is our feedback guide](/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques). It explains what we expect, and how to give feedback if you're a beginner. Poems that link to low-effort feedback, and low-effort comments themselves, will be removed at mod discretion. - No Blogspam
Do not use URL shorteners. Do not post blogspam. Links to personal poetry blogs are allowed as all other rules have been followed. - Image/Audio Poems Must Include Text
Audio, video, and image poems are allowed; however, all prior rules must be followed. Further, the text of the piece must be included in the body of the post.
