Grammar, like every other aspect of language, is NOT a sacred tenet. It is not axiomatic. It is a set of conventions that have been arrived at over time and will continue to shift with influence and innovation. The grammatical structures we use when speaking are different to those we use when writing -- and those we use within any medium differ depending on context and purpose. To think of the English language as unalterably fixed in stone is to deny its existence as a living, fluid means of communication.
Poetry is a bridge between written and spoken language. As such, it is at the forefront of language innovation. It is important to learn the rules as they exist; however, art demands that we be bold enough to make changes when necessary.

It could be worse
