Check out this list, but don't forget to visit coffeehouses and cafes to see if they do poetry readings and if they’d consider your work. Check and see if your town publishes newspapers with kids’ sections. Be creative and imagine all the other places your words could go. 

Important note: most places below specify that they will not accept writing that has been published elsewhere (even a school paper or school publication) and they will not accept submissions that are being sent to other magazines, too. Send ‘em off one at a time, friends!
