"I can't post my poetry on deviantart because I would never be able to have it published then."
I'm not sure that's true.
It used to be true of novels, short stories etc., but now if you have a following (ie a popular e-book) it's a plus.
Don't take my word for it, call a few publishers, listen to a few writer's podcasts etc.
Cheers!

PS I submitted some of your work to my Hippie group.
