To align thoughts into meter and rhyme?
Granted, deciding between enjambment
And end-stop lines one must never descent
to a level of messy disarray.
When detailing the dragons one must slay,
Synectoche beckons as a grand tool;
Imagery does imbue spirit in drool.
Diction reigns "King Device": I must mention
that words should recieve the most attention.
Emotions ought to unfurl unchecked by
an editor with a scrutinous eye.
When describing please do not take so much care,
That rhyme ruins the meaning that resonates there.

Very nice. It gets to the point of so much not-good poetry. I particularly enjoy the forced rhymes and odd line breaks. Also props for using the 14-line pentameter of the sonnet, and putting it in heroic couplets, not following the rhyme scheme.
If I am reading it right as sarcasm, this is a beautiful piece of work.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
