Owings Mills, MD, July 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The countless poets around the world searching for a source of information and enjoyment don’t have to look any further. Poetry.com, the largest poetry site on the Internet, has unveiled its new reference section. With a simple click of their mouse, users can access the most comprehensive poetry glossary, poetry techniques page, history page, and more.

Poetry.com has a vision to provide poets from all over the world a place to discover resources and find inspiration for their writing. The organization has helped poetry evolve from the simple use of pad and paper to a place where millions of people can access everything there is to know about the craft.

"Providing these free services to users only promotes the importance of writing," says Howard Ely, Editing Manager of Poetry.com. He adds, "This reference section covers all aspects of the poetry and it gives motivation for people to start, or continue, expressing their creativity through writing."

The poetic techniques reference section of poetry.com provides a series of published articles that are designed to help individuals improve their writing skills. Discussing topics such as the elements of a well-written poem, the role of rhythm and rhyme, and ways to edit your work, the articles give direction to all writers-from the most experienced to the beginners.

Ranging from terms such as "alliteration" to "sonnet", the all-inclusive poetry glossary encompasses nearly every expression associated with poetry. It serves as a reference for poets, and also makes up the largest glossary ever found on the Internet.

Those interested in the history can immerse themselves in articles conveying the important role that poetry plays in our society. Articles highlight such topics as Poetry Month in April and poetic movements throughout the ages.

Additional features within the reference section include the "Greatest Poems Ever Written", "Test Your Poetry IQ", and "Need Help Rhyming?"

Howard Ely sums it up when he says, "It’s a poet’s dream come true."
