3, 4, 7. Yet it is more than that,consider, the word "poem" is from the Greek "poiein" which means to create,make and is akin to the Sanskrit "chinoti" he gathers, piles in order. I love lyrical poetry ,across the world in the different languages this is considered poetry.It takes skill to arrange words that will make you see the world in a different way.

I don't pretend to know either.I could but I'd need a poetic license ...

I think those who get readers any which way they can are WINNERS. But then again, there are no losers when we all get a chance top publsih on the walls of the world (Internet).

Neil-I would have answered-4 and 7.However-each of us 'see words'/'

'read words'-in an entirely unique way! Also-we decipher pics and words in the same manner!Therefore-what may appear to someone as 'poetry'--may to another-be a 'jumble of words'! I don't believe that there is an answere here!shalomfromchris.

Good questions!  I am with your last question or statement!! Who cares; words and phrases, allegorical or brutally honest goes here.  I think that two people can take away totally different messages and as long as they take something away  more than a click!! Good one, Neil!!
