How does the structure of ars poetica reinforce the poems theme

The lack of traditional structure illustrates MacLeish’s idea that a poem shouldn’t be confine by rule

The poem's theme is what a poem should be, and it is represented in the structure repeatedly by the use of devices

Explanation:

"Ars Poetica" uses several poetical devices to convey its message, it uses simile, alliteration, paradox, metaphor, and anaphora, this one repeats the expression "A poem should be" which is the main theme of this piece of work. It also has paradoxes and juxtaposition of opposites to explain how a poem should be.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
