Lol, such a simple definition for such a (usually) complex art! Ok, here's my final attempt at unraveling my train of thought. In general, I don't like being confused about what a poem is trying to say. I like to be given some direction, not be dropped into a no man's land of words that mean nothing to me except confusion. Prose is often described as "wordy" while poetry can often be "choppy." However you define it, the definition of what poetry is is as unique as all the poems ever written.
