Posting Poems
Highlights & Boosts
Pin your best poems to your profile, schedule highlights to rotate on their own, and spend credits to boost a poem into more streams.
Highlighting pins a poem to the featured spot on your profile, so visitors see your best work first. Tick Highlight this poem on my profile in the composer, or use the highlight action in My Poems. Only Public poems can be highlighted. Full guide: Highlighting and boosting your poems →
Every poet can highlight 1 poem for free. GS Pro raises that to 4, so your profile can feature a rotating set. You can un-highlight and swap at any time, on any plan.
Yes, with GS Pro. Pick a future start (from 5 minutes to a year out), an optional end date that removes the highlight automatically, or both — so your featured work rotates on its own. More on scheduled highlights →
A boost spends 50 credits to place any Public poem of yours in the clearly labeled Boosted slots for 7 days: in the home stream, at the end of other poems, and on the Boosted tab of Discover. It doesn't need to be highlighted. A poem at least 30 days old can also take a shorter 2-day boost for 15 credits; you pick the length in the Boost pop-up. Anyone with credits can boost; it's not a GS Pro perk. Full guide →
Tap How's it doing? under the poem in Boosted Right Now on your profile, or beside the Boosted line under a highlighted poem. A pop-up shows times shown, people reached, times each and clicks to read. Those numbers are free for everyone; comparing all your boosts side by side (Compare All Boosts) is a GS Pro feature.

Yes, a 7-day boost. Tap End Boost on the Boosted line under the poem and confirm. The poem leaves the Boosted slots right away, and the credits are not refunded. A 2-day boost runs to the end.
Yes — that's a gift boost. Spend 50 of your own credits to put another poet's public poem into the Boosted slots for 7 days. They're notified that a supporter boosted their poem. More on gifting a boost →
No. Trending is always earned from real reads and engagement — it can't be bought. Boosted poems appear only in slots clearly labeled Boosted, separate from the Trending list.
