Trying something new is always good. Most of my poems are short, free verse (despite the fact I prefer rhymes--I just write what comes to me), and I prefer writing stories to poems. A while ago I tried something new--A five page long rhyming narrative poem. (I like narrative poems, but this was my first written one.) It was great! I have written another (much) shorter narrative poem since then. Trying new can be fun. If I had said "I've never done this. I can't do it" I would have missed out on a fun poem style. (Narrative poem style is now my favorite.)
