Hm.. my favorite type of poetry.. Romance probably, because for me, that's easiest to write. XD Although sometimes I write poems about never giving up, that kind of stuff.
From the selections listed in the poll? Effortless- but probably not in the way you meant. Effortless in that the rhyme and rhythm isn't forced... And, yes.. I do believe that poetry should rhyme, first, and if not that, then there needs to at least be a rhythm. Else it's -not- poetry.. sweatdrop
I love dark poetry, I used to write depressing, suicidle poetry. Well, then again, that was when I was sad, depressed and suicidle. I showed it to my boyfriend, and then I made him worry about me....... crying I don't know why I like dark poetry so much. I guess that it's true raw emotion, uncensored. It shows the deepest darkest depths (try saying that ten times fast) of the human soul....
when reading poetry, i don't mind what genre it is as long as it has rythm and makes you think a bit. As for writing poetry, i prefer free-verse but only because i'm lazy sweatdrop
