Old versus new?

[billy]

which is best, or should i ask; which do you prefer, things like a good sonnet from bygone times, a decent piece of archaic rhyme, or modern stuff. it's not really about rhyme or non rhyme, it's about era, what flavour do you like. it may be hall mark or the style spike milligan, marlow or shelly. don't worry if we slip off topic with this one, it's a pretty broad question.
