Is it prose or is it poetry?
Prosaic poetry or poetic prose?
Lyrical prose or prose poetry?
Does it rhyme or does it not?
Smoothly flow or hard to recite?
Adheres to form or free verse?
Does it matter if it makes sense?
Does it matter if it touches the heart?
Does it matter if it lifts your spirit?
Poetry like beauty is in the mind of the beholder. Regardless of style a poem should relate. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking poem.
You've raised some relevant questions here. One often feels today's poetry encroaches on prose territory without being lyrical. Often it is too sentimental touching ob the heart without being chiselled by head.
Very specific and valid questions raised here. Enjoyed reading it.
A well expressed poem, dear Ruta..........................
