Funnypoets.com was created by poet Duncan Flynn. It provides a vehicle for writers of humorous verse to feature their work as well as appreciate the poetry of fellow poets.
The site is also
gathering a new audience of comedy fans along with poetry buffs and ordinary folk who just enjoy a good laugh.
A note from Duncan:
OUR AIMS ARE TO:
Highlight the talents of poets around the world.
Encourage people from all sectors of the community, all ages, all backgrounds to submit their work.
Give unpublished poets a vehicle to have their material published on the site.
Offer exposure for established poets, which may lead to book sales, performances and further writing work.
Allow published poets a means to have their new work viewed.
Bring poetry to the attention of ‘non-poetry readers’ through the use of humour.
Allow writers of all styles of humorous poetry (bush poetry, contempory, children’s etc) the opportunity to be included on the site.
Promote humorous poetry writing as a growing artform. Encourage non-writers to write.
Link poets to additional websites which may be of benefit to their writing.
