I thought the same thing when I read "please use stanzas". Some of the best, most unique poems I've read have had a complete lack of stanzas. I guess this is the poetry equivalent of the "no wall of text" rule. It's understandable, yet it's a completely different style of writing, where the rules aren't really meant to be the same.

Glad to see someone else thought something similar.
