There it goes again.
WHen you really do try to write something with strict rules, whether fitting phonics patterns or iambic pentameter... the fun and scary part is when that thing you really didn't intend to sneak out... well, except it needed to... just lands there. Somehow. If you were "freely" composing you could have stuck to Your SUbject and said Exactly what was on your little verbose mind. Not sure where that ties in with the relationship of freedom and structure and discipline - it's the kind that encourages expression, not repression - but it's somewhere.
