Don't blame the form

[shemthepenman]

In this context I mean you would only use a form to allude to something. But that's just me. For instance: I'd rhyme to either refer to a certain level of demon(s) in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and Neil Gaiman's The Sandman or witches in William Shakespeare's Macbeth, but I wouldn't bother telling anyone about it, I'd just expect everybody to get it or go to Africa or Alaska or disappear into Mexico.

i see, so you mean writing in a traditional form is only alluding to past greatness, and kind of piggyback on that. do you not think there is something intrinsically valuable about the form?
