Stuff I Need To Ignore! Getting lost in the form is bad form. Some stuff just needs to be ignored for the sake of the story and the message. Tempo: I can record or play at any tempo I like, and change tempo at any time I like. That is a tool of emphasis for the music! Studio or public appearances with other musicians are another thing! Form in poetry: I can meter and rhyme at any time and when and how I, please! The meaning is the thing, and sometimes wrecking some Iambic pentameter or adding a rhyme or meter in some places to evoke the mood can enhance the thought! Questionable grammar: I can use “bad” grammar as a literary tool! No offense to my old pals Strunk and White but the story is more important than being literarily proper!
