I have a great appreciation for both, but I usually write in free verse. Occasionally I will challenge myself to write traditionally. It is really nice to hear from a like minded individual.

My very first introduction to poetry was in the strict form of sonnets & haiku thus my first poem were written in either forms but mostly following Shakespearre's sonnet. It was only recently that I've come to decide that I'd like free verse more in representing my voice. But, classics would always be my first love. Thanks for the poem that reminded me of how I started in poetry. <br /><br />- ksmkelvin s.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02591849636814413110noreply@blogger.com
