I like it to rhyme for some reason.
-
rhyming, it seems to flow better and that usually keeps me rolling through it easier.
-
It depends. I enjoy both, but lean more towards free verse. If the writer has sufficient skill, both can be very good. I am not fond of poetry written in free verse because the writer lacks skill to write within meter & rhyme scheme. That being said, I lean towards free verse.

Well, it depends on my mood. I love both but I prefer free verse because there are no limitations. The words are just flowing and I can set my own style.

To me, it isn't a poem unless it rhymes.

I tend to prefer metered and rhymed poetry, but free verse can be a lot of fun, or fit certain moods. With my own work I would say that a rhyme scheme does not a poem make...neither do a bunch of words thrown together and called free verse. A poem is crafted to mean something, to represent something, or to evoke some feeling. The form, metered and rhymed, or free verse, or a combination should be part of the whole. Both forms can be as easy or as hard as the writer chooses.

I gotta go with free verse. I admire anyone who can write metered and rhyming poetry, but whenever I try, I feel like someone's slapped a straitjacket over my brain. And when I'm reading it, it usually feels less like what the writer wants to say and more like what he *can* say. (there is some stuff that rhymes that I'm in love with, just in general, I lean the other way.) For some reason, I tend to follow the feeling and the meaning of the poem better when it's free verse.

Rhyming is little old, now it is new wave and free verse
