    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.

    Typos are very important to all written form. It gives the reader something to look for so they aren't distracted by the total lack of content in your writing.

    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.
