A. Indicative
The indicative mood (statements of fact, description, narration) is the most commonly used in poetry overall. Poems frequently assert images, actions, and observations; the imperative and subjunctive appear often too (commands and wishes/hypotheticals), but less frequently across the whole body of poetry.
