When is it poetry?

[temperance14]

When is it poetry?

When you write, for yourself, when is it poetry?
What do you require of your writing, to make something different from your prose? Or, for you, is there a difference among any genre of your creative and/or expressive writing (no, creative and expressive are not the same--not always).

When is it poetry for you, when you read.
What do you demand from your poets? What do you need from your poets?
What do you need, if any need, from your poetry or other writing?

the imagery
the sound
the nuance,
of the words becomes important
