Or just words that rhyme?

Oh my.
Oh my eyes,
they watch your ears
believe my lies.
They watch your heart,
it fails to break.
It never learns
of my mistake.
It never feels
the callous pain
of what I've done
this time, again.

Please explain why it is which ever it is.

Well, the only useful definition of poetry as far as I can see is a very open one: poetry is a form of written expression more dependent on form than drama or prose. Since you've got line breaks, what you present can reasonably be seen as poetry, just like that classic poem:

quote:
Fleas
Adam
Had 'em.

A more exclusive definition of poetry will probably exclude texts that are acknowledged by most as poems.
