I enjoy forms that have a sort of punch/counterpunch e.g. sonnet, haiku.
I actively dislike most forms that involve repetition of entire lines (except as a chorus).
I like to find rhyme entwined throughout the poem.

#Haikus are simply any phrase, rhyming or not, which has exactly 17 syllables.
They don't have to be deep or philosophical or even serious. #Poetry can be fun. My favorite #haiku writer is #TomWilson (aka "Biff" in the #BackToTheFuture franchise). He has such humorous gems as:
"Life matches on, faster and faster,
But the fact is you can't rush toast."
"Danny Bonaduce
prob'ly wouldn't make a good babysitter."
" #FredFlintstone ordered ribs every week
He had to know they'd tip his car."
More of his #humor in the video link.
