My suggestion would be to focus on non-rhyming poems that have alot of stuff like metaphor, simile, and imagery. Read alot of poetry and books on the art of writing so that you know what the tools are and how to use them plus you'll learn what not to write like cliches for instance. Most of the people here are happy to help you so long as you're willing to except that criticism is a must for learning any type of art form. So bite your lip, learn from your mistakes and consider the advice that others give you and soon you'll surprise yourself by how good you've become.

Ps. Don't call anyone names who hasn't done it to you first or soon you'll find that no one will want to read your poems.

Good luck young buck.
