Don't blame the form

[billy]

i'll use the olde adage that good poetry is good poetry, whether it be form or other. i agree with the OP that should you try to use it, try to use it as best you can with a frame of mind that allows you to improve using feedback given you. to simply say it's cliched is to dismiss the chance of writing or reading what could be good poetry out of hand. it's a bit like saying rock or soul music doesn't cut it for good music.
