Welcome to London Poetry Systems, the free online poetry project that gives you the chance to explore new and different areas of what we now call “poetry”. Although the Systems is based in London we have contributors from all over Britain, who share our passion for innovation and experimentation in poetry. Help us grow by submitting poems and thoughts to us in any media form. We don’t have any fixed destination in mind - get in touch and join us for the ride.

Take a look through our picture poems section.
