I'm looking, but don't know what to look for. I know fuck all about poetry, I just think we need more of it.

You are doing a great job mate. Try writing it the way you would want to hear it. The way you would like to hear it delivered by someone else from a stage, with a microphone. I write mine in short 4 line stanza's, and rhyme the last word/s of the 2nd and 4th lines. eg

The missile hit him in the chest,

And it made complete the farce.

Because it drove him back a yard or two,

And sat him squarely on his arse.

Laying bruised and badly beaten,

His breath a ragged hiss.

The poor bugger was covered head to toe,

In the paper and the piss.

Good luck friend, keep going, the sillier the better and more smiles on the faces of your listeners.

Expectantly, we scan it all

For signs that the storm nears.

Sharing news and spreading thoughts,

been doing it for years.

And if it takes another year,

through the patience learned I'll know

This time will only be a waste,

if I refuse to grow.

So gather round me, foes and friends.

Please listen to your hearts.

This show's about redeeming us,

And soon enough, it starts.

Edit-(please advise if any part seems off, I am really wanting to figure this out)

I am not graphically creative for memeing but I see value in the brevity of poems to express larger ideas succinctly. It is fun too.
