Poetry is a genre of literature that is based on poetic masterpieces with ideal imagery achieved through a harmonious combination of original form and new content with a sensual coloring.
All other experiments with poetry are failures of masters, areas of apprenticeship, or attempts by graphomaniacs.
Formal features of poetic speech (rhyme, rhythm, imagery, clarity, capacity, depth, conciseness, construction techniques) do not yet guarantee the high quality of the work.
That is, they are necessary, but still clearly insufficient conditions for relating an essay to poetry. Its creators and true connoisseurs are most often one person. The trouble is that the overwhelming number of writing authors do not know how to use even these well-known signs and methods of poetic language. They do not have a vocabulary due to poor reading, or even illiteracy.
Poetry is a world created for the spiritual development and enrichment of a creative personality. This is the only treasury of the literary language that allows, through tradition, to most fully and multifacetedly preserve the individuality of a nation and people.
Surprisingly, even in the time of Plato (four hundred years before Christ), education and training consisted of: gymnastics, music, POETRY and mathematics.
*** I wanted to add (2014) Pushkin’s statement that poetry is not
is. “There are two kinds of nonsense: one comes from a lack of feelings
and thoughts replaced by words; the other - from the fullness of feelings and thoughts and
lack of words to express them."
I dare to add Pushkin. 200 years after his birth, a third kind appeared: it comes from lack of education and illiteracy. Apparently in those days such people did not take up writing; their common sense prevailed; and the poets were numbered in just a few, not thousands. However, true poets can still be counted on the fingers of one hand... But not one of Pushkin’s caliber!

There is nothing simpler - just open a literary dictionary.

IDEAL IMAGERY is the highest degree of real embodiment in a work of mental literary artistic images striving for an aesthetic ideal, with a harmonious combination of form and content.
Masters (as opposed to apprentices) sometimes achieve perfect imagery in their creations.

Almost a decade later, I am adding a poem to the article that fully answers the question posed in the title.
Fragility
Petr LYUKSHIN
And he kept repeating to himself like a robot:
- last time,
last time -
and this anger, and this timidity,
and the happiness of the lips and the greed of the eyes.
AND,
like ghostly guests
gone like hedgehogs into the fog...
and there is no greed. no anger...
and you can collapse on the sofa.
Everything dissolved in a echoing haze,
fell into a black hole...
only happiness
fragile figurine
trembles without melting
in the wind...

What about poetry without rhyme? Or do you not recognize the existence of such a thing?
What’s also interesting is your assessment of the work, which has a banal form, but the content is extremely outstanding.
1. I don’t mention rhyme in the definition, but only among the distinctive features.
2. The content of Shakespeare's lines does not require sophisticated forms; it is quite accurate

poetry
POETRY (Greek poiesis)
to midday 19th century all fiction as opposed to non-fiction.
Poetic works, as opposed to literary prose (for example, lyric poetry, drama or novel in verse, poem, folk epic of antiquity and the Middle Ages). Poetry and prose are two main types of verbal art, differing in the ways of organizing artistic speech and, above all, in rhythmic structure. The rhythm of poetic speech is created by a distinct division into verses. In poetry, the interaction of verse form with words (comparison of words in terms of rhythm and rhyme, clear identification of the sound side of speech, the relationship of rhythmic and syntactic structures) creates the subtlest shades and shifts of artistic meaning that cannot be embodied in any other way. Poetry is predominantly monologue: the character’s word is the same type as the author’s. The boundary between poetry and prose is relative; There are intermediate forms: rhythmic prose and free verse.
Poetry
(Greek póiesis), in a broad sense, all fiction (in the 20th century the term was rarely used); in a narrow sense - poetic works (see Verse) in their correlation with artistic prose. See Poetry and Prose.

Ubaldo Capadosio said goodbye to all three, or rather, said goodbye, because only the dead are said goodbye forever, and set off to conquer the glorious state of Alagoas, where human life is valued low, but poetry- high, and a good poet can get recognition there, earn money and, if he is not timid, warm the bed of some pretty dark woman.
Taking a militant, revolutionary orientation poetry Shelley, they also learned some specific features of his romantic artistic method: abstraction, allegorism, direct personification of abstract ideas and human feelings.
To do this, he used the baggage of metaphors, comparisons, antitheses and other embellishments of classical rhetoric, and in his native poetry borrowed the tool of alliteration to give his prose a bright sound coloring.

I had never asked this question before, until I saw a question in the “essays and articles” section of one of the authors of stihi.ru, “Poetry - what is it?”, which he asked other authors, readers of stihi.ru and asked not to confuse the definition of poetry and its purpose in your answer; you were encouraged to write your opinions in reviews. I wrote a review, the author of the article was not satisfied with my answer, however, neither was I. I was faced with an even more pressing question about what poetry is after all. Many have written that poetry is life, it is a state of mind, a way to express one’s thoughts and feelings. After reading several answers from other authors (and there was a lot of interesting stuff), the question still remained open. The author who asked a question about poetry asked to answer it in prose, and not in poetry, so there were many answers in prose, but still there were a large number of answers in poetry, since it is impossible not to talk about poetry in poetry if the lines themselves are born in the depths souls. This seemingly simple question turned out to be complex.
The definition I read in Dahl’s dictionary did not bring me any closer to answering the question: “Poetry is grace in writing; everything artistic, spiritually and morally beautiful, expressed in words, and, moreover, in more measured speech. Poetry, in the abstract, is called grace, beauty, as a property, a quality not expressed in words, and creativity itself, the ability, the gift to renounce the essential, to ascend by dream, imagination to the highest limits, creating prototypes of beauty; finally, the very works called poetry, writings of this kind and rules invented for this: poems, poems and science poetry. Some considered poetry a slavish imitation of nature; others - visions from the spiritual World; others see in it a combination of goodness (love) and truth. A poet is a male piita, a person gifted by nature with the ability to feel, recognize poetry and convey it in words, to create graceful things; poet. Poetic, poetic, relating to poetry, containing it; elegant. Poem of a woman. poetic narrative, poetic story of holistic content."
Dahl's Explanatory Dictionary - (Dal V.I. Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language. St. Petersburg, 1863-1909.)
Other sources also did not provide a satisfactory explanation.
In my opinion, a very good explanation of what poetry is is given in Nadezhda Trubnikova’s poem “Poetry,” written on March 20, 2002:
Nakedness of the soul
Frankness - almost to the point of shamelessness...
Nerves are strings
on them
guides memory with an invisible bow.
Letters-notes, chords-words and running stanzas
written down on white paper
cantata poems
I was lucky enough to get acquainted with the work of Nadezhda Trubnikova quite recently. (Nadezhda Trubnikova was born in Moscow in 1933. She graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute in 1957. Candidate of Sciences, member of the Union of Architects of Russia since 1960. The first collection of her selected lyrics, “Life in Verse,” was published in 1999, the second collection, “Fate,” in 2001).
One friend gave me a collection of her poems to read, which she gave him as a gift on November 23, 2009, with her autograph. Currently, the author is no longer with us. It is in this collection, called “Nakedness of the Soul,” published in 2004, that the above poem is found, which helped me clarify the question of what poetry is. People, readers, as far as I know, love sincerity, therefore, for me now poetry is, first of all, the sincerity of the soul.

With deep respect, Vladimir.
I've been writing poetry all my life, or at least I think it's poetry. And all my life they tell me: “Is this poetry? There is not an ounce of poetry in them."
Then I take S.I. Ozhegov’s Russian language dictionary, find the right word and read:
Poetry is verbal artistic creativity, mainly poetic. The grace and beauty of something, arousing a sense of enchantment.
So, according to this definition, poetry should arouse a sense of enchantment? Amazing! What then to do with “Babi Yar” by E. Yevtushenko? What kind of charm can we talk about if, when reading this poem, your throat closes with excitement? Perhaps S.I. Ozhegov did not give an entirely accurate definition and we need to look for it in other sources?
Many articles on poetry give a lot of definitions and no two are completely similar. And of the definitions I found, two of them are closest to me personally.
In the first, poetry is creativity, which is the language of the poet’s soul. The poet knows how to express in words the state of his soul in such a way that it is transmitted to us, the readers.
In the second, poetry is rhythm. But rhythm is music, so does music in verbal expression, conveying the state of the poet’s soul, is poetry?
I realized that you can search for a definition ad infinitum. And apparently I.F. Annensky was right when he wrote:
“But if I knew what poetry is, I would not be able to express my knowledge or, finally, even having selected and put together the appropriate words, I would still not be understood by anyone.”
Taking into account all that has been said, and in order not to put the reader into a state of deep sleep, I will give an example that is not entirely appropriate for the rigor of the article itself.
Let's look at and analyze the following lines:
The fly is green, impudent, large
She sat down on a stinking pile of manure.
The food she said: very tasty,
I've never eaten better.
Is this creation poetry? The question is, of course, interesting and somewhat philosophical.
From the point of view of a green fly - no doubt! From the point of view of the horse that left this heap, it is unlikely that it will have any objections, because in this way the horse also got into poetry. But there are other points of view. And then let's make a small edit to our creation, just one line:
“I sat on a very smelly pile.”
Just one word, but it contains a lot of unexpected information, not to mention expression.
We used to deal with a horse. Now the co-author is unknown. Intrigue arose. And the poem made us think: what is the meaning of life?
And tell me after all this: is this poem poetry or not?
Thank you for attention.
The author draws attention to the fact that he did not mean any of the authors who posted their poems on the Obshchelit website
