Rules of Poetry
I was put in a straitjacket, by the rules of poetry
My creativity was strangled, by the rules of poetry
My message compromised, by the rules of poetry
I felt I had to do something about the rules of poetry
After much deliberation about the rules of poetry
I freed myself at last by breaking, the rules of poetry
But I am not going to forget, all the rules of poetry
For then there would be no poem, without the rules of poetry.
