Thank heavens somebody else said this. It's all that matters to me in any art "form". Form and content are indivisible.

PS
That doesn't exclude what we llike to call formal poetry. It is, for me, as normal to write or read metrically as it is to use grammar. That doesn't mean that I don't also appreciate or explore what we call free verse. Form and content adapt to circumstance.
