if i didn’t know war,
would i still die in battle?
the shadows cast their mark
herd us like cattle
but given the chance
to make it all better
id look hell in the eye
and scream for surrender

Do you have any poetry tips?
I personally like to write based upon rhyme schemes. I don't understand meter very well, so I work with what I have.
I typically like to make a rhyme to the first verse within the second to fourth line, and for any other lines just do what feels right.
If I can't figure out how to rhyme something... Don't be afraid to look it up (rhymezone is great). We don't gatekeep here.
(A) With a little bit of work,
(B) You can find a way,
(A) There is a great perk,
(B) In practicing every day
If you're just starting out, it's easy to stick to four line verses before resetting the rhyme scheme, but I also highly advocate for experimenting!
(A) I don't really know where I'm going with this
(B) Or how long it will be
(B) We'll just have to see
(A) With motivation and muse's kiss
(A) There is such a lovely bliss
(B) In making such poetry
Freeform is very nice too, and it's fun to play around with capitalization and grammar for emphasis. I don't do this as often, so I can't come up with an example on the spot, but I know there's one somewhere I can find.
This is pretty broad, but if you have anything in specific you want help with, please don't hesitate to ask

no casual voice of mercy
no more immunity
perverse my way to comfort
think back on what you told me
magic eight ball told your downfall
you could’ve been around more.
big estate, silver plate, people all au fait.

I've been sober for a week, now all I can think about is smoking a cigarette.
