Sometimes I use trochaic, but I prefer iambic as it's easy and goes
great with English. Also, since my poems don't usually use a fixed
number of feet*, I find that iambic provides a better connection
between lines and is easier to move in and out of when mixing
free verse stanzas with iambic ones.
*Of course, when writing poems about cats, I religiously adhere to four feet.)
