Is it possible, that once logical correctness has been established, you can then "stretch life metaphorically" to the point where the logically correct conclusion is shown to be false? If so please give an example.

Would you not agree that your poem would be more impressive if it made philosophical/logical sense, and conveyed the "feeling" which you wish to achieve? I don't see why you couldn't, except for a knee jerking reaction against DA and Zodiac.

As has been discussed on this site innumerable times there is a big difference between good emotions and good poetry.
