When a journal says that it accepts simultaneous submissions, "if notified," when is that notification supposed to take place? When you submit the poem, when some other journal to which you've submitted the poem accepts it, or both?
It seems the middle option makes most sense, because, unless you've already decided to send "Poem X" to both journals Y & Z before submitting it, you might not know at the time of submission to journal Y that you, scarcely two weeks later, would say to yourself, "Oh, what the hell," and send it off to Z, too.
Advice? Can you tell that I'm painfully neurotic?
