poems are great because you can pretty much do anything. pick a topic that YOU want to write on, something that happened to you, something you are interested in. the beauty of poems is that with a bunch of adjectives you can turn brushing your teeth into a fantastic piece of art. get a pad of paper, it makes you feel ready to write and then go outside or somewhere you are comfortable with a cup of tea and realise lifes pleasures, then put down what you think onto paper. to make it interesting fiddle around with how you break it into lines. you dont have to follow a set poem structure all the time so why not be different. use words you dont normally and go over the top in describing. good luck, i love writing poems
Shakespeare liked to write sonnets in iambic pentameter.
A Sonnet is 14 lines. 3 quartets (four lines), and a couplet at the end (two lines).
Rhyme scheme:

Iambic means unstressed syllabe, stressed syllable, over and over. A meter is the one grouping, if i understand (one unstressed followed by a stressed syllable). Pentameter means there are five meters. So, each line has 10 syllables.
Here's an example sonnet for you, i wrote it during my physics class today (high schooler, here).

If all the world was dead and gone, and i
had still remained without your love, would that
be any dif'rent than to seek all time
and never find the one who left? But what?
If i devoted all the words i wrote
to you, you still would not be flattered. You
just turn away to say he looks but not,
whilst i, indeed, still see, and still, i do
what none would do. I love, i ache, i sin.
No, ne'er before in the light of day could one
be so tormented as myself, and in
this wretched state i lie, i write to none
but you. Perhaps if i would be no more,
your heart would burst, and finally be torn.
If I told you I would have to kill you. IT'S TOP secret
