>Only those without talent write unmetered poetry.
I think there is some leeway with this assessment. If you have proven yourself as a metrical virtuoso such as Baudelaire, you can abandon meter to try something out like he did in his prose poems. Unfortunately, a lot of people lack metrical talent/knowledge and skip straight to writing free verse. Picasso, for example, has proven he had undeniable mastery over the technical aspects of painting and went on to paint stuff that looks like a 5 year old could do it. Nevertheless, in the same way, retards of today who go straight to painting 5 year old like sketches, without undergoing the training or displaying their mastery of the fundamentals of paintings, are frauds.
