What is Poetry

What is poetry
Is it when you say to me
I need to know before I die
Did you love me so
I need to know before I die

What was poetry
Was it when you said to me
You're not the only man for me
Or when I said - insanely
You're not the one for me

Posies - Roses
Everything that rhymes

Was this such a line
Such a line?

Was that poetry
When you left and ran from me
With blood on your face
And in disgrace

Or when you left that letter
That letter
In your place
