Poetry Trains 

New Poetry Trains on a site to help authors develop readership.

As it happens, if a few people read your poetry every year, you'll move pretty high in the poetry ratings. You can ask kindle unlimited how much poetry is actually read, cover to cover, and they'll tell you, much less than romance novels for example. They keep track. They have a formula for how much a page of poetry is worth, compared to, say, a page of romance novel. Do they each count as the same page? The poetry has far fewer words, but you have to think more to read it.

But I maintain that whoever reads your poetry, it doesn't matter. A reader is a reader. I'm not going to pay anyone to read it, but if I can get reads by hustling some other way, I'll do it.

In this case, reading other people's poetry is actually kind of gratifying. I have something to compare.
