Does anyone know what to do with a long poem?

I’ve written a couple lately. Churchyard was kind of enough to take a 7-page piece after reading several excerpts from it. I didn’t expect that. I continue to excerpt these longer pieces to send them out, but it seems incomplete. I mean, I wouldn’t excerpt a smaller poem…so, what does a poet do?
