Poetic mastery takes a lot of practice and even more rejections. Believe me. I've been writing poetry since I was in 4th grade. So poems I've written have been outstanding, some have sucked ass. It helps to read poetry often. Read contemporary poets to poets of bygone days.

Also, like I say, try free verse, non-rhyming poetry. Also, find your beat. Poems have to have rhythm, and they have to flow. Find your rythm. Everyone's rhythm is different, like a finger print.
