I think that what we do is limited only by our talent. One poet may succeed where another will fail.

Music students used to be taught that consecutive fifths were naughty. Painters were taught---wait for it--that blue and geen should never be in the same painting. That pretty well ruled out landscape for a start.

Pushing the boundaries is something most of us like to do. Some may do it with meter and others may do it with content and some with both.
One of the great tests is to write something riveting within the rules. That takes real talent. To make the familiar unfamiliar.
