Go here: www.duotrope.com. It's list nearly all the print and online poetry journals that have websites. It also gives descriptions of the journals. You can then click on the link it provides to visit the journal's website, and then you can read some sample poems to see if you poems fit the journal's aesthetics. When you find a journal you like, read their submissions guidelines and submit your poems the way they want poems submitted to them.

Also, another feature of Duotrope.com, it only lists legitimate journals.
