You were taught free verse before rhymed/metered poetry? Really? I always thought I was taught rhymed/metered verse first because it's easier, you can talk about how a sonnet has 14 lines, iambs, trochees, all that jazz instead of sticky issues like theme or poems consisting of the word 'Poop' in the center of an unblemished piece of foolsclap.
