would anyone be interested in critiquing my poetry meant for young adults?

Hello, Amber. Don't worry too much about the PublishAmerica rejection - chances are it had more to do with the poems being too much work to typeset than anything else. They're pretty notorious for trying to give books as little attention as possible, and have been known to reject books simply because they needed too many figures or typesetting. Well, they're notorious for a lot of other things too, like terrible distribution and outrageous cover prices, but that's another thread entirely. (You'll find it in Bewares and Background Checks.)

I'm not a published poet myself, but I would be willing to try and critique your poems.

I'd be happy to critique. The PA thing has more to do with inconvience than quality of your poems. Thank your lucky stars you didn't get involved in that PA scam it would have broke your heart.
