Attempting poetry

I was asked to bring a poem to my creative writing class- one that I'd written myself, and didn't rhyme. I have a bit of a block when it comes to poetry. Everything I write is just ridiculous and cheesy. So then I took a poem I wrote ages ago, about how I don't write poetry, and changed it. Here are both of these 'poems'. It's the best I could come up with.

Original- What I do

I don’t write poetry
Thoughts aren’t meant
To be forced into lines
Of squiggles and circles
Dots and lines
Letters forming words
To sit lifeless on a page
Pretending
That they’re something
Anything
More
Than text on paper
Emotion held hostage
In cold black ink
I don’t write poetry

New one- Homesick

My friendships
Are being stretched thin
Into halted lines
Of squiggles and dots-
Letters forming words
To sit lifeless
On a buzzing screen;
Pretending
That they’re something
Anything
More than electronic text
Glaring at a girl
Sitting alone in her room.
I hate the internet.
