A single good poem over a thousand crappy ones
Writing that single good poem is the challenge and you’re light years away from it

Try practising formal poetry (in the sense of having a form)
Try writing Spenserian, Petrarchan, Shakespearean sonnets
Ottava rima and terza  rima
Odes
In pentameter and tetra meter
If you can’t do all that then you’re just a guy who doesn’t know how to play the guitar and thinks that his free strumming makes him Jimi Hendrix
But once you’ve done all that and have got a good grasp of the craft, you can turn to thr art of poetry
That’s where free verse begins
Sigh... thanks
