Facebook Notes Poetry & Poems
Before I found Squidoo, RedGage, and other pay for content sites, I posted my poetry on Facebook in the notes section.

Correct Spelling And Grammar In Poems, Is It Important?
Is Spelling And Grammar Important For Poetry?
Poetry comes under the genre of creative writing but does that mean that the "rules" of ordinary grammar and spelling shouldn't be adhered to when writing or creating poetry.
