Poetry

Recently I've been working on a poetry chapbook for my creative writing class, and I've been really struggling. Every night, I get out my list of different types of poems, and just stare at it. I've written about five poems (when I want like 15), and they suck. I can't figure poetry out. I try to write something, and it's just fragmented, like a short stupid little story, and it isn't good. It's frustrating because usually if I need to write something, I can figure out how the hell I need to write it. But I just can't figure out poetry. I've been googling "how to write a poem," and "poetry" for examples, but it's just no help.
