I wouldn't recommend spamming your poetry to every avenue available (and some have policies against simultaneous submissions anyway) so it is probably a good idea to get to know your platform first. Most do have submission policies, it doesn't hurt to ask in advance. If you had a particular piece that you thought was the perfect selection for a specific platform and you were concerned it might affect your chances you should probably have us move it or delete it. Or, you could just write another poem for.said magazine or journal.
