no, lizzie, i am not making up abotrary rules... it is simply a logical observation that the form you choose could possibly be detrimental to the desired effect of a confessional poem. and on this occasion at least something you did was detrimental to the credibility of the poem for tectak. he says so.
for example, if you are writing as a 6 year old but choose the form of, i don’t know some complicated thing, then it may be jarring. that’s all. i am not passing judgement on whether tectak was right to say this of your poem, but in general it is a aspect of writing 1st person confessional poetry (in the form of a character) that is worth taking into account.
