making money from poetry

I don't think there are any websites that offer upfront payments for poetry. Sorry.

Hello and welcome to mylot. I am not sure whether there are online sites that particularly cater to poets like you. But, Triond, which is pretty much a writing site that pays, is just the only site I'm familiar with that welcomes poetry writing. Triond pays you depending on your article or poem views. Try researching for some other online earning sites and maybe you can get lucky to find something that will pay you with your poetry skills. Just be patient okay. Good luck to you and hope you find what you're looking for.
