Preferred Forms
Forums:
Having little more to do lately I've been sitting around thinking. (I know this ability likely come as a shock lol). Well, one thing I've been thinking about is how everybody has a favorite form of poetry they prefer writing in. My favorite is structured rhyme, although I sometimes venture into almost all forms.
Now why is it that this is my preferred form? Perhaps it's that I'm not only kinda old but also a bit old fashioned. Or it might be I enjoy the challenge of attempting rhymes which seem to fall naturally. But that's enough about me.
What is YOUR favorite form and why do you think it became your favorite? This introspection might help you become better at your chosen form and it will be interesting to see everybody's reply here.......

Stan there is nothing wrong
Stan there is nothing wrong in having a signature form ...especially when it allows a writer to express within his comfort zone....there would be certain forms which kill the muse like for me is strict meter like a sonnet....it's good that you have raised this topic....i would follow the stream from a student's perspective to learn what others say..

Hi raj
You've not really said what might have led you to your chosen form.

when I was born I had nothing on only humorand smiles
so why not have my own form '
I asked before leaving the womb
and a voice spoke to me
wear nothing
so ever since i only compose FREESTYLE '
bless all the coming while
long years were ahead
decades since
nothing archaic about me
as I near the RIDEILO
where finally all go
may be I will be nude
FREESTYLE as i came will I leave
finger prints of my laps tapping still
so stan read me freely
only if U Rrrrrr happy

Hi Mark
Yeah those Japanese forms require condensation of thought and words. They are a different type challenge from western classic
