that's a hard question to answer. i'd say only you can tell that.
i'm sure if you tried you could do a good sonnet or any other basic form
that requires a fixed meter and rhyme scheme, you probably won't great
at them at first but from this i doubt it would take you long to become decent.
work on the rhyme and meter first off, once you get the form you can edit
to get it better, don't accept cliche though, they can be easy to use in poetry
forms but hard to get out of the habit...so just have a go at as many forms as you can.
the odds are you'll end up doing free verse as well. the more types you try, the better chance you have of finding something you enjoy doing.
