Anyone know any good magazines/online journals where I can submit some poetry? I'm new as hell and I'd love to get my work out there.
It's hard to get poetry published if you're new.
You should try and get feedback on it before you submit; generally websites will reject you without saying why other than "not what we had in mind."
Don't post your poetry here. I haven't read any decent poetry on lit ever. A bunch of try yards afraid of contemporary poetry that ham fistedly go for depth and sacrifice any aesthetic quality or just just bad writers.

Duly noted, thank you! I've got a lot of really good resources at my university, some writing professors who are honest about their own work and what they think of students' stuff.

Feedback from professors and some good writer friends is how I've gotten poetry published. It's a necessity. Good luck, my friend. And don't be afraid of the contemporaries! There doesn't need to be a strict rhyme scheme or meter to make a poem a poem.
