poetry

[ladywoman]

Hi everyone. I was listening to a discussion on poetry on the radio today. As far as I can see a poem is only poetry if it rhymes, otherise its just a piece of prose. So my question is please can someone tell me when does a piece of prose become a poem?

I ran across this some time ago and perhaps it will provide insight to your question's answer...
