It's a good point you make, about people intentionally writing poetry try to adopt a voice that sounds like a poet, based on what they think that voice is. It usually (not always, but very often) ends up sounding like a bad actor. It's like when they bring a person onto a TV show/sitcom/drama/whatever, and he's playing HIMSELF on the show, and he sounds false and fake, because he's trying to act like he thinks actors would act.

Natural voice carries so much more real emotion than words deep-fried in false feelings.
