I hate classical imitations!

For the life of me I do not understand the purpose or the method of classical imitations of poems. I want classical form to stay in greek or lattin where it belongs. There are always new forms being developed. Why is it necessary to regress into the past and use antiquated and dull forms of writing when there are a thousand new options to use. There is a reason, that still stands today, why Sir Philip Sidney's readers need help to understand his poetic structure. It is too complicated to make the form useful and worthwhile!!
