Teen Ink is a magazine filled with many informative, inspiring, and interesting pieces.  My personal favorite in the October edition is a poem called, “Streetlights and Stars” by Patience Kish.  This poem is about two best friends who very different from each other physically.  The author uses the line, “You sported khakis and Polo shirts and I wore too-tight-to-function skinny jeans and band T-shirts.”  Despite how different they are on the outside, the two best friends are there for and understand each other.
I personally really liked this poem because of the tone that this poem gave off, which is a calming one.  I think that the setting – it was nighttime and they were looking at the stars – really contributed to this feeling.  I also can relate this to my own best friend.  Although we are different both physically and personally, we are still so close and I value our friendship very much.  This poem really made me think and realize how different my best friend and I are, but I’m still able to talk to her when I face an issue and she is able to do the same.  Overall, “Streetlight and Stars” is great poem and definitely one of my favorite pieces in the October edition.
