Write poetry from prompts just for the fun of it; formal or free verse, you pick.

Hauntingly beautiful, Decora. *Smile* I love the narrative in it, so human. We all have a beloved person we have dreamt of (or thought we saw him alive and well in front of us in broad daylight) after his passing away. You put that grief to words in a way that it touches the soul.

"I seem to write more in Prose than rhyming poetry. Now I know where my weakness is."

I don't think that is a weakness. Many great poets nowadays write poetry as if they are writing prose.
Speaking of myself, I don't like writing (or reading) end-rhymed poetry all that much, unless a pro like Robert Frost does it. Any rhymed poem I have written feels fake to me. On the other hand, I love meter, but I can't do that well either. *Laugh*
