What is an easy form of poetry to write?

-I have to write a poem for my english course and it cannot be a haiku, so what other forms are easy to write?Although free verse lacks a formal structure and typically avoids rhyme, writing it WELL requires a certain amount of skill (and artistry). Any forms that employ rhyme are prone to sounding forced or "sing-songy," so you might want to consider blank verse (iambic pentameter unrhymed) instead.



Sonnets and villanelles have both structure and rhyme, thereby providing a framework within which to express ideas and emotions. Most of my poetry is written in one or another meter because it appeals to me and is easy to do. I have several villanelles; some posted here, some not.



I hope you find a style just right for you.Easy is free verse, but only because there are no structure rules. However that only means you have nothing to fall back on, the idea and the poem itself have to be good. Because you have no restrictions to blame.
Free Verse are my favorite. They don't have to rhyme and they don't have to be written in a certain type of format. If you do a free-verse though, i'd recommend you rhyme some words to make it more "catchy".
Obscure free verse is the way to go. It requires no talent, just vocabulary and confidence to make it "sound" deep. You'll find many examples here on this site.
Short form
Free verse of course is easy, you just write and no need for rhyme :)
