Stay away from the National (or International) Library of Poetry---or poets.com or poetry.com. They are scams. They will tell you how great your poem is and then bombard you with emails telling you your poem is being published and you should buy the book it's being published in. I don't know of reputable places, but I would suggest you research any place that sounds promising. Check out scam.com any time you are doubtful of what sounds like a good way to make money online.

Thanks! Been there done that too! Years and years ago I tried that and as soon as they mailed me the book order form I said forget this!

Thank you for the warning, I too have written poems and would equally be interested in where to get them published, but I was told that it is not at all easy and you can be easily scammed as mentioned by ktroth. Good luck with your poems.

Hope it will help you and in any case good luck with your poems
NB: If you got a lot of them, ahve you thought about making an e-book out of them and trying to sell them yourself ?
