Welcome to rhymster.com the hottest new site for cool poetry!

Welcome to the best international free online poetry community - a "poets corner" and a writing contest environment on the web for creative and romantic personalities from all over the English speaking world! British, American, Canadian, Australian writers - it’s your chance to share your creativity and meet your soulmates online.

If you feel you’re a poet and willing to share your inspiration and love of poetry with others and think your poetry is worth to be read rather than be hidden on your harddrive - post it onto our site. Don’t be afraid of editors and publishers, unfairly critisizing the manifestations of your spirit any more. Rhymster gives chance to all the unknown poets regardless of  their sex, age, regardless of whether they are a student, a child prodigy, a  housewife, a young teen genius, or head of a family. We give a chance to everyone - the young ones and the old ones.

Rhymster is the mirror of feelings for thousands of creative individuals. It’s as diverse as a human soul itself. It’s the world of love and hate, angels and demons, broken hearts and  jolly inspirations, life and death.

Participate in our writing contest and find out what chances your poetry has for winning the hearts of readers from all over the world. Establish friendship with the individuals who share your way of thinking.

We allow the poems of any size to be posted on rhymster - be it a short gnomic verse or a “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” size poem. 

Always remember - poetry is dead if not read. Rhymster is not a “dead poets’ society”, it’s poetry in action, poetry as it is - living, feeling everlasting.

Signing up is simple and in about 2 minutes you will be ready to begin building your own online poetry showcase to let you share your art with others.

Use the forums, contribute to the site and in general help make rhymster feel like a good place to "live" online.

It's 2007 and with addition of so many new styles and genres why just be a poet when you can be a rhymster ?

Today's featured poem:

The Sack of Burden.
There are times we are faced with guilt,
It’s the kind of guilt that doesn’t just go away.
No matter how hard we try for it to disappear.
And all we end up doing is to live with it.

It tears us up and impairs our daily life.
We carry it around like a big sack of pebbles,
And we weigh ourselves down with its weight.
And make ourselves do things without a clear mind.

When guilt rules the life of an individual,
He becomes a shadow of his cheerful self.
Everyone noticed but kept their opinion inside,
For they know not what worm it might open.

Set yourself free and cast away that burden.
God can do it for us only when we ask him.
The deed has been done and should be forgotten,
Even as hard it may seem to those concerned.

Seek forgiveness where necessary and important.
Otherwise lay it open and seek guidance.
Write it out and put in a bottle with a cork,
Throw it in the ocean and let the wave take it.
