Poetry doesn't have to rhyme in order to be poetry. Read up on haiku's, they seldom rhyme, if ever, yet it's a popular form of poetry. If you google poetry or non-rhyming poetry, there are thousands of sites that might be able to help you out.
In the meantime, don't get stuck on one thing, creating the rhyme, just get your thoughts down, then work through it. As long as you get across what you are trying to say, don't sweat it so much.

The point of poetry is to take a moment or an image and lift it up so that we can look at it more closely than we would be able to otherwise. The words that you use in a poem are like the colors and brush strokes a painter uses when creating a painting. Therefore, it is important to use words and the structure of the poem in a way that makes the poem stronger emotionally--so we can connect with the thing you are "lifting up."
Rhyme should only be used if it serves a definite purpose in the poem--for example, Gwendolyn Brooks' poem "The Mother" uses rhyme because it evokes a feeling almost like a nursery rhyme (despite the difficult subject matter). You can find it here:http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mother/
When you are writing a poem, try to let it come out naturally and organically in your first draft. Once you have it all out on paper, you can work out things like structure and language, and edit the poem into what you want the final product to be.
Sorry this is so long!

I have a different opinion that I am sure most people won't agree on, but I'll tell you anyway. A poem can't be called so unless it has a rhyme scheme. I don't believe in a poem with no rhyme, so if you want to write "something" without concentrating on rhyme, write prose. It's a lot more easier & a lot of fun, trust me, just start with prose. Now, its a myth that focusing on the rhyeme would make the poet lose their concentration on the idea. On the contrary, it frees the poet's imagination more, by making them look for the approriate & the most effected word. There's an art of writing a poem with rhyeme that anybody can learn, if they don't want to, why not write prose? I believe in rhyeme as an "essential" element of a poem personally!

Good poetry is straight from the heart and when someone reads it they can feel it. Don't over think it, just write and when you are done go back and remove the extra words that are not necessary to get your message across. I love using annalogies in poems. It gives the reader a chance to have a more distant connection to the work and it allows them to personalize it by coming to their own connection to it. Abstract poetry gives the reader a chance to relate to it in their own way. To fit it into their own lives. Good Luck, and don't worry. If it's from the heart it is beauty no matter what anyone says.

you have to imaginate all of what you want to write. Don't just concentrate, but imagine it.
Usuallu poems use unusual words, so, you have to make that words be as dramatic as you can. Fell the poem. Fell what is the meaning in it. If you want to write a sad one, write it as sad as you can. If a happy one, as happy as you can.
Write it according to whenever you feel something.
