The first year on iPage is very cheap. If you do not want a "unique" domain name, there are a number of free providers out there. Just google.
Do you know a website that i can design my own poetry website on that isn't expensive?
If you're looking for a model, just Google "poetry websites" and see what suits you.
For cheap websites (without the need to know HTML) you could try somebody like www.wix.com They'll give you a free site but it comes with ads. Or you can buy one fairly cheaply with no ads. (Add a domain name to that for about $25 p.a. And you're off and running.)
