As a high school English teachers, the sites I find most helpful are poetry archives, but I also found a site to help with publishing and a site with some great e-poems.
www.writersmarket.com
While this site does require purchasing a membership, I think it is the quintessential resource for those wanting to get published. And signing up for this online service for a couple of months is much cheaper than buying the print edition. This site provides publishing information in an organized, easy to find manner. It also has publishing advice and even lets you set up reminders to help you keep up with dates for submission and follow-up.

This site is from the library of congress and provides a poem a day for American high school students to read. It also includes a little tutorial on how to read a poem out loud (which many students need help with). What a good way to read a variety of poems and keep you mind focused on your craft on a daily basis.
http://poetry.eserver.org/
This site provides a great list of links to canonical verse from the Carnegie-Mellon English Server. And while it is not very comprehensive, it does provide a good sampling from many different types of poems.

Is a site dedicated to archiving as much American poetry as possible that was written from 1920 to the present. It is part of the University of Michigan Humanities Text Initiative. It contains a variety of ways to search through the archive.

I too loved the library of congress site. It is a great resource for History teachers as well as English teachers. Unfortuantly I did not "feel" the Aya site. I looked at the e-poems and felt very underwhelmed.
Excellent sites, though I'd like a little more description/information in an ideal world.
Interesting links. I will check them out.
