I have seen numerous posts about poetry, poetry contests, etc. I believe a bottom line that they all have in common is a desire to sell the poet books, plaques, CDs, etc. It feels good to be able to say you are published, but what feels really good is when you don't pay for it to happen, but you get paid. I was published in one of the Chicken Soup series books - I received a free copy of the book and some money. That felt great! Keep at it - sooner or later, you will match with a legitimate market, and whether you are paid in copies of the publication or money, it feels darn good!
