You can sponsor a specific item that has been created and priced. Standard prices are $5, $10, $15, $20 for poems depending on length and the epics are $.50/line. Sponsoring a poem reveals it to the public and you also get nonexclusive reprint rights in case you want to put it in your own blog or somewhere. Payment via PayPal, check, or other methods can be arranged depending on donor preference; the standard button is for PayPal, which is in my LJ profile and appears on Poetry Fishbowl posts.
You can also put in any amount greater than $1 for the general fund, or into an open epic. Plenty of people on short funds have bought just a verse or two.
I've had some people commission stuff too. Prices are higher if it's really specific. I've composed wedding poems several times, for example.

More details on the Poetry Fishbowl may be found on its landing page.
If you like my work, there are many non-cash support methods. Actually the perk poem from the July fishbowl still has four verses left, which can be revealed by people linking to the unsold poetry list or to any poem they like from the July session. Click the poem tag and you can see the recently posted poems.
