In the last couple of months I have rethought this problem and have concluded that why not accept them as a part of reality.
In other words compose the photo with the poles and wires and celebrate them as a part of the reality that is there.
Yes, I avoid them if possible but have now reconsidered.
This has been my approach also. The only time I remove a wire from an image is when it runs along the edge or in the corner of the image and is therefore too distracting. Oftentimes wires can even be used to serve as leading lines within a composition, but this should be considered at time of shooting for maximum effectiveness.
