There are many different types of poems.In some metre is important whereas in others it is the number of syllables in the line.The first sort are more similar to songs like the poetry/lyrics of Leonard Cohen.In recent times the main forms of poetry have been less used in favour of free verse.This may be because if they are bad they remind us of those sentimental rhymes in birthday cards.Why not try free verse instead

You are hopeless with words
Your vocabulary shrinks daily
What crap, I think when I read it
Try to see it my way
