Take the same idea as a sonnet, but don't worry about rhymes. Concern yourself with selling a strong volta on line 9. End with a summary 2s'er (All freestyle 14lines). Alexandine lines are good, heroic better (Alexandrine being 7 syllables, heroic 10). Remember it's hard to sell a complaint on a vista, unless the volta is a total change in scene.
