I say submit your poems. Give editors a chance to buy them. If the chances are slim, so what?

As far as I can tell, the only harm in submitting is the time it takes to research the markets, and whatever anguish you might feel when an editor chooses not to buy. If those things aren't bothering you, go ahead and submit.

The big advantage of submitting is that if a magazine publishes one of your poems, your work gets free advertising. Depending on the magazine's circulation, that might be worth the effort.

So send your poems to editors. When you don't feel like sending a given poem out again, post it on your own website. But first give a few editors a chance to buy.
