Please change the poetry section
Dear Teen Ink
I read and enjoy the interesting fictional and non fictional stories in every months issue down to every last word, but then I get to the last section. Poetry. Now I am not one who hates poetry, ever since a young age I have enjoyed everything from limericks to haiku, but after reading the same typical unoriginal "angsty" poems month after month I get annoyed. I get annoyed mainly because it is so boring, but also because these poems that make no sense get published instead of stuff I write. The subject matter of these poems is always so dark it is difficult to find one that isn't about something like drugs or murder or something mind numbingly boring like an entire column devoted to a poem describing the process of making a pot. All I ask is that you include some more enjoyable stuff for people like me who don't like ordinary non rhyming passages that someone just randomly hit indent on.
