Perry, I have an explanation for you but, since it is written in verse, I am forbidden by the rules of this forum to post it here. I have instead added it to a thread (Private vs Public...) started by Aaron Poochigian on Drills and Amusements.
I wrote it some time ago when the pejorative phrase "metre wanker" cropped up hereabouts and it is still the best way I have found to express what I do to achieve a formal poem. I don't know what lawyers do so am unable to compare the techniques.
