Creative Exploration

if
I
may be
permitted,
popular acclaim
has its own peculiar demands,
limiting abundant creative exploration 
to lying within the strict boundaries satisfying the current audience's tastes.

Insightful and definately true. I would say it's more limiting abundant creative exploration. Love that line. You use poetic forms I've never even heard of Milt. I need to take the time to experience some of these less mainstream forms. Your friend, Bill
