If you are forcing rhymes yes it is hard to write a poem. Edgar A. Poe says that a good poem is one that you can write in one sitting if you get up and walk away one you lose your train of thought and the underlying meaning is if you can't even sit down to write it then no one can sit through reading it. He also said writing is 90% perspiration 10% inspiration. One good tip Start writing. Find something you want to write about write down five things that describe what you want to write about then start the poem, if you don't like what you have written edit it if you still don't like it toss it and start over. Good Luck.
