I love adjectives too much they have given me writing arthritis.

      I'm not in the poetry scene so I'm a bit bugged to hear they're not supposed to rhyme. I used to try for very complex rhyme schemes that still can evoke and hold it's own.

      Maybe it sucked but I published it smh :/

          Nothing's really dead in English literature. The sonnet's gone in and out of style how many times?

          I agree with your top post - write what makes sense for what you're trying to say, not for what the "fashion" is. Maybe the composition demands a florid style. Not everything has to be Hemingway.

              He was clearly a magnificent practitioner of the objective correlative, doing everything he could to make his readers want to do drugs and contemplate suicide.
