Skipping rhyme in my sonnet submission was a huge mistake

Everyone acts like breaking form is bold and fresh in poetry contests. My unrhymed sonnet got rejected for missing the point of the structure. I should have trusted the classic approach instead.

Rules are made to be broken sometimes.

Weird how the same people who say that get super strict about other rules, like parking or cutting in line. (Seen it a million times.)

Lol, that "rules are made to be broken" line is funny until you see the double standard @cora_stone mentioned. Is it really that serious?
