Isn’t written poetry anything coherent first word to last set in broken lines, lines that stop short of the margin?
These poems may be excellent or terrible but poems they are.
If not, why not?
A paragraph from say a John Deere manual with broken lines:
Voila, a poem.
If there’s a better definition of a poem, I’m open to it.
I’ve looked but haven’t found one.
I reject the idea of prose poems because no principle exists dividing them from prose that’s just prose.
A prose poem in my view is but poetic prose, if in fact it’s poetic.
