Turning out rhyming doggerel is fun, translating deep experiences into words is hard work, but both appear to be satisfying. Sometimes I am in the mood for one, sometimes the other.

What I find difficult, nay, impossible to comprehend is why anyone in their right mind would willingly put themselves through the agony of attempting to encapsulate a deep experience in a few words. Clearly it can’t be done, as evidenced by the fact that no one understands a damn word of what these fools scribble.

Doggy style. Haha. I couldn't resist!
I'd say free style.

Free verse is my favorite style to write. I love to write poems that contain a lot of metaphors or poems that are one big metaphor in and of themselves. But I do enjoy attempting to "master" different forms and styles, like the sonnet, sestina, or stanza. I think it is good exercise to write poetry with all the form sometimes.
