2. Limerick
Though, I usually write in free verse, limerick is just so damned fun to read!

A favorite of mine (no, I did not write it):

A jolly old tippler named Charlie,
Engaged in a pub in a parley,
With a wink said, "I think
That your drink's turning pink;
A sign of inferior barley."

9. Sestina!
You forgot Sestina, shame on you!

Free verse? No rules at all! It's like if the US somehow elected a governor with zero experience in foreign policy or economic values and a dismal record!

11. To read or to write?
Limericks are fun to read - I like to write sonnets. Something about the structure appeals to me.

17. I agree:
I like both, limericks and sonetts.
A limerick always makes me laugh, and with sonetts I love to find out the construction. In school I did not really like poems until I was confronted with some very striktly composed sonetts; the interpretation of those was suspenseful!

Are you sure you can?
Better count your syllables
Your first line is short!
