It can be difficult to write sometimes, especially if you are creating something brand new. It is even
harder when you must write while following certain rules. Some writers thrive when there are limits,
like poets. Many poetry forms follow very specific rules, like sonnets or elegies: you can’t just throw
some words on a page and call it a haiku. On the other hand, some successful poets really enjoy
breaking the rules. They will reuse to use proper punctuation or follow any sort of structure. So then
what good are the rules if you can just break them and still succeed? That doesn’t make any sense. I
guess that is why I am not a poet.
