good sites that pay for poetry...???

www.helium.com does have a "creative writing" category with a subcategory for poetry. They don't pay a lot; but, you do get paid for page views.

As far as I know, there are no sites that pay upfront for poetry. Most of the ones that accept poetry only pay per page view. Like the guy above said, you could try helium (very good site)-page view only. You can also try AssociatedContent-page view only. There's also Gather-page view only Fictionfactor has a list of publishers that pay for poetry and what they're looking for. Constant Content only allows poetry if a publisher specifically asks for it (but if they do you get real payment, not per-view payment). You can try featuring your poetry on squidoo or hubpages-both are page view only. I found this list of Magazines that pay for poetry. I don't know how reliable this list is or how easy it is to get published, but here's the list: http://home.earthlink.net/~maryt63/magspay.html
