I may sound harsh but my ex-friend had several on there and his english teachers and others told him he was not a writer.
Poetry.com takes your material, tells you about a book, then tries to sell this back to people at high prices. That is what we discovered anyone can get on their Web site, in the book, but they expect you to buy all kinds of things.
The best idea is to get in now with actual journalists willing to spend the time with you to make you a high quality poet and writer. I recommend you check out Teen Ink Magazine www.teenink.com and Young People's Press www.ypp.net if in Indiana try ypress.com
Search on Google for Teens and Journalism and you will find the right people to work with on your poetry and other writing. Try those three for starters I'll see if I can find more so write me a note later. [ GDROB2's advice column | Ask GDROB2 A Question ]

There should be a list of places you can send to in the Writers and Artists Year Book if you can get your hands on a copy of that!
