RE: David’s Poetry ?
Ah, David. We meet again. Again, you have posed a question. Again, I think I have an answer for you.
What is Poetry? What is anything really? that is another day of discussion: life, the universe, and everything: we will have coffee and tea and cross our legs and talk into the night. But, for you David, I will try this, and maybe, just maybe, it will come together to answer your question.
Poetry is what people say is poetry. Limitless really. Someone could crap on a sheet of paper, and if someone says that’s poetry, well, then it has to be. Most ‘poetry’ is only crap on paper, well crap on something…really anything, I don’t want to limit the imagination to just paper.
So, David. Do what you would like. Some say life is poetry, a dance without limitations, and others say that rules are poetry, a binding contract between paper and the poet.
But, David, I tell you this, poetry is poetry, and if you say that it is, and you get one other vote, than it really is poetry. Just let cummingspoundkerouacwilliams guide you.
However, I am sad to say, I may not vote for crap on paper. You will have to look for another hand to be raised on that one.

I agree with your point about poetry... In the end, it only last if it is what what people like.
Justin, this is a fine, fair, and confident definition. or (non)definition. sometime we should just ask, "What isn't poetry?" and leave the rest to the editors.
