I hate to be the one to break this to you, because I know how exciting it is to get that first letter accepting your work, but poetry.com is a scam. They've been around for years so seem to operate within the law, but as long as you purchase the anthology, they will publish your poem.

To find warnings and specifics about them, try googling 'poetry.com beware'. You'll get far more hits than just googling 'poetry.com'. Also check out the sites dedicated to warning writers of scams such as Writers Beware.
