I was also free in my writing in my younger years.
I pumped out 4 books of poetry in one year at 29, it wasn't until I tried to get published and the "Rules" were shoved down my throat did I lose a chunk of that innocent feverish midnight writing desire.
I still write but felt cheated that poetry had rules and regulations, my belief is that poetry is passion therefore has no laws to live by....but that's just me.
