Is there any way to make money writing poetry?

I know there are the obvious poetry competitions; I've entered into just a few of those in previous years, but competitions tend to have rules and restrictions on how the poem is written, what length it is, etc., and I would prefer to have less of these restrictions.

Are there any poetry anthologies that pay you to get published, verses having to pay for entry? I'm published in a few young author poetry anthologies, but these were either free competitions or payed entry competitions.

Are any publishers looking for small collections of poetry? I'm a student and would prefer not to have to spend a ridiculous amount of time writing hundreds of more poems, although I'm defiantly open to writing more in smaller quantities.

Thanks in advance for your help. = )
I'm not looking for a great deal of money, such as something you would get for a job or part time job, but just something that recognizes the fact that my work is part of a company's anthology.
