Nick, I understand where you're coming from.
And yes, it's a lyrics and poetry forum, but I don't think we should strictly be categorically confined within those two criteria.
I like to see people able to create an emotion, a message, a statement.. all creatively, and not have to follow a guideline unless, of course, they're trying to.
I dunno. I've read some absolutely outstanding creative works that were essentially free-form writing and brain dumps but still managed to create such a visceral and vivid imagery and tone that structure would have all but killed the flow and feel of the work.
I just think that if someone wants to share that kind of expression with the world, they should be recognized for their intentions, and not reprimanded for not meeting a criteria they weren't aiming to satisfy in the first place.
