Sure, why not.

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?

And if I weren't that, apparently I'd be...

I am, of course, none other than blank verse. I don't know where I'm going, yes, quite right; And when I get there (if I ever do) I might not recognise it. So? Your point? Why should I have a destination set? I'm relatively happy as I am, And wouldn't want to be forever aimed Towards some future path or special goal. It's not to do with laziness, as such. It's just that one the whole I'd rather not Be bothered - so I drift contentedly; An underrated way of life, I find. What Poetry Form Are You?

Somewhere inbetween the two, I suppose.

Every time I talk to you, I think "that woman is definitely terza rima." *solemn nod*

Mm.. I took this quiz a while ago.

I'm blank verse, myself

I took this quiz twice -- I forgot the text I originally had. I think I put the same answers in both times, but may have been slightly off. Anyhow, the first time, I came up with Ottava Rima or Blank Verse, the second time I came up with Blank Verse or Haiku.

I took it twice and got, first, terza rima or sonnet, then, sonnet or Heroic Couplets. Hmm.

One of my favorite writing books is Rhyme's Reason by poet John Hollander, in which he gives examples of dozens of different forms by writing self-referential poems in each form -- not unlike the examples given here, though I'm pretty sure these are not his. His versions did less "personality" analysis and kept more to formal descriptions, as I recall. Still, this reminds me of it. But maybe I will take it as an exercise to pick a form I like and write a poem in it that characterizes the form in ways I actually identify with :-)
