Rather tangential to the point of individual artistic freedom, but still rather related to artistic deviation in general (didn't think this worthy of a top-level comment - so it's got little to do with you, sorry): I don't trust prescriptionism without any awareness of context. I'm sure there a quite a few nitpickers who take pride in recognizing historical veins in modernist poetry when it's being spouted at them and hot-swapping in the right tropes as required.
