Wow. Over reaction. I find rowens to be persuasive. This is poetry discussion. It almost seems like Rowens is arguing Leanes point, but in a more universal sense.
Leanne: Don't excuse your shit writing on form you chose. You've chosen the form, you're responsible for making it work.
Rowens: The forms don't make the poem, the poet does. Using classical forms in poetry is so overdone it's practically cliche.
Honesty, your points are similar. The form doesn't make the poem/you can't blame the form for the poem. Subtle difference, maybe, but the base argument is almost the same. It's the poets responsibility to make the poem good.
