What is Poetry?

What is Poetry?
Is it random words slapped on a page?
A certain rhyme scheme?
Special syllable count? Iambic Pentameter?

Or is it something
more?

Poetry is special, unique
Poetry is a piece of the heart,
A chunk of the soul

Poetry is a part of you
It can be deep, full of hidden meanings...
or simply an apology for eating frozen plums
(so sweet, so delicious)
Poetry is what you make of it,
And that's its beauty.

That's why I write.
