It really depends. Free form is sometimes really enlightening to listen to. Loose and strict rhyme poems are good too.
It depends on the author and the content.
Now, about WRITING poems - I prefer strict and loose rhymes to freeform, because good freeform poems are really hard to write.

Personally, I find free form somewhat annoying. Then it's not really poetry. It's just creative broken prose.

But free-verse has an essence of freedom that the metered verses don't. Metered verses are trapped within their own structure. There aren't as many possibilities.

Maybe not in English, but in Russian poetry (Pushkin in particular) it is amazing how creative you can get with words and still keep it structured. It becomes like a song.
Imagine a piece of music with no rhythm - that would be very invertebrate music indeed. Poetry is just the same.
I bought burrito The burrito cost 65 cents. That was expensive.
Is this poetry?

Freeform is kindof dottish, I admit, but when done well enough it becomes like some spiritual chant...

Well, I accept all poetry equally. Free verse has some possibilities that structure destroys, yet structure has meter and is pleasant to listen to.
