Not in a lifetime could you sell a poem on the web and make serious money.
One approach to consider is to start your own website where you can publish your poems. If your website can attract a million+ hits a year, then you can sell the website or advertising space on it.
If your poem is as good as you think it is, your fame will spread soon enough once it is published on the web. Fame can lead to serious money but is far from being a guarantee.
Good luck
