It's still poetry no matter how you deliver your message if you can put your thoughts into a verse then go ahead and put out your lyrical burst
It's still poetry whether you freestyle or write spoken word or limerick or acrostic, haiku or Shakespearean, your voice should be heard
It's still poetry writing about experience or just testing your rhyming ability it's all fair game just because one style doesn't speak to you doesn't make it all lame
