    "Poetry without rules is like a tennis match without a net"

    Just read your quote Purush and I partly agree with it but I see poetry as more of an art form like dance than a sport like tennis. Supppose it's because I love dancing too. Dancing can either be full of rules like traditional ballroom or latin or a total expression of yourself through freestyle where no rules apply. Guess my poetry is very much like that
