OK, I will put it more simply. When someone expresses an opinion, if that opinion does not follow rules of logic in terms of concluding from the premises that opinion is dim. If someone writes a scientific paper and makes conclusions that don't follow from the premises that can be said to be dim. You claim if someone writes a poem that ignores the restraints of logic that is ok. Therefore you are inferring a magical property to poetry.

What you seem to want is for ideas expressed in poetry to be beyond reproach. That is to say you can say what you like and not be examined on an intellectual level, only on a poetic (that it rhymes) level, which is bow'ls.
