[hi! I found my way here via kabarett's mentions of the comm, hope that's okay]
For myself, I don't tend to make a practice of poetry, at least not in a deliberate fashion. I've done so in the past, and I find that it decreases my median quality to make myself write poems regularly - I find poetry to be much more inspiration-based than prose, which I can make time to sit & do like any other craft.
I do, though, find that my mind turns towards the ritual twist of words formed into poetry when I'm particularly distressed. This inevitably pulls me back to writing poetry, even with a year or more since last I've done so. Sometimes, I just can't not. But for me, poetry is something I can only create in complete privacy (I'm not sure why), and since I share a one-bedroom apartment, that's a little tricky to get hold of.
