I absolutely love what you based the poem on. It's literally about hell. Except, there are no stanzas. This is really good... for a first poem. You need stanzas to help the read determine rhyme and rhythm and just to make the poem look professional overall.
I love all of your adjectives, your descriptions are lovely and I thought they were awesome. I know "lovely" isn't the word I should use to compliment descriptions about hell, but you get the idea.
Another thing, your rhyming is completely off. You need a consistent rhyming pattern or it throws the reader off and makes the audience read through your poem faster. you were right, your punctuation isn't correct. You need periods AND commas. You can also ask questions in a poem. Poems have sentences. You can have more than one line of your poem make up a sentence. For example: This part "With great walls of red,
The wails of the dead,
Blood seeping through the cracks,
This is Devil’s land"
That should be:
"With great walls of red,
The wails of the dead,
Blood seeping through the cracks,
This is the Devil's land."
And yes, the word "the" should be in there before Devil or it messes up the rhythm.
Again, I thought this was really good but it could've been better
