If you enter a poem, they might send you an email that says that you're poem will be published, but they make you by the book for thirty or fourty dollars. Be warned, poets!

That's also why I don't submit to big general sites like that - like those ads I've found in the back of teen magazines "Submit your poem or song today!" They're generally scams. I wouldn't trust anything that big, that impersonal and that "official."
