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. ................................................... There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more. |

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