The great thing about poetry is...
there is no propriety about it.
However, if you're asking about forms and how to use them to challenge yourself to write better poetry, there is one book that should be in the hands of every single poet.
Lewis Turco's Book of Forms
Everything you would learn in a graduate program about poetic technique is in this book.

Go with your feelings
Poems need not rhyme
you can even get "stream of thought" poetry
Or Haiku - a Japanese style.
who needs structure - unless you are doing a Sonnet.
Just keep writing - not everything will be fantastic, But you can go back an fiddle.
Enjoy your writing
