Asimov's Science Fiction pays for poetry per line. Which means that a very short poem, like a haiku, pays less than your typical small-press magazine. Whereas, a palm about as long as they will take them, somewhere in the vicinity of 25 lines,, pays about as much as the best small press zines. Of course, more people will read your haiku in Asimov's than in Scifaikuest, even though the pay is about the same.
