I am not a writer but I can if I put my mind too it. I like to read other peoples stuff though. I have a lot of friends who write Poetry and it is awesome. I will leave it up to them.

I like it when poetry is read aloud. I'm not super particular about format, but I looooove sestinas. I include a lot of those when I write. Two of my favorite poems are:

We Real Cool - Gwendolyn Brooks

We real cool. We
Left school.

We Lurk late. We
Strike straight.

We Sing sin. We
Thin gin.

We Jazz June. We
Die soon.

And Ozymandias by Percy Byshe Shelley (I said on a different thread that I didn't like Shelley -- by which I meant his prose)

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

I both read it and write it myself, and given that I put it all on my deviantart I do show others, in a way.
I tend to like writers like Edgar Allen Poe or William Blake, but I'm always looking for new poets to read.
Basically, the more melancholy the poem, the more I love it for the most part.
I haven't found many "happy" poems that appeal to me really, and I can't usually write them myself either.

I find I write and read based on my mood, so I suppose that makes sense.

I used to write from time to time, but not in years.

I write poems. There's no set type, but mostly I like to rhyme. When I write things that don't it reads more like disjointed prose than a poem. I don't show many people my work; it's often personal, or at least feels that way.

I've tried my hand in the past at writing poetry, usually free form, however it's just something i've never thought i was good at. I do love to read poetry though! I'm very big on classic books, usually from the victorian age, my favorite story being Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass which are filled with nonsense poetry. Currently I'm reading the Inferno by dante, which is some of the harder poetry i've read, but i very much enjoy it.

I have three large boxes full of notebooks that are nothing but my poems...and no one has read any of them. The only ones others get to read are the ones I make up while writing to them....

I love reading poetry and have a complete bookshelf dedicated to my addiction.

I don't read a lot of poetry but I do enjoy it, I also used to write some of own but haven't done so in years.

I read, rarely I write, I don't work on it but show others.
