Writing+-+Teachable+or+Natural?

||  I would say that in more cases than not, compliance is a factor in the academic and business worlds. People need to be skilled to write a certain way in varied situations. What one may write creatively uses a different set of skills that what one uses to compose a job inquiry letter. Because this skill is rather cut and dry, it seems a skill that is easier taught than more unconventional ways of writing.
 * =  ||< This concept is subjective based on several factors: the students literacy level, the assignment, the instructor's expectations, the audience and their literacy levels.

However, a certain level of resistance to common form is, without a doubt, the factor in creating the most provocative and brilliant pieces in the literary cannon. To say that those who do not use iambic pentameter in poetry are less poetic than others is simply ridiculous. Poetry, like most forms of creative writing, serve as a springboard for the unconventional, and often resistant, to form.

Can people be taught to write poetry. The answer is "yes." Can they be taught to write what may be deemed "good poetry?" Perhaps not. ||
