What is poetry

What is
poetry
A simple question
For
anyone to answer
We learn
When we are young
Poetry
Is words written
Down
By someone
Words
That rhyme
or have
A pattern like
This
We learn
About
Haikus and epics
But
That's not it
Poetry
Isn't about
Rhymes
Or even
Words
Poetry is about
What
Is being said
And
The best
Poetry
Isn't what was
Written
On the page
But
Everything that
Isn't
Written down
That's
What poetry is
