Watered-Down Juice

What's poetry  I request don't ask me
Tools of poetry? Have no idea 
Previously poems poured from within
I would write them as it is in dairy
Now still thoughts pour out from somewhere within 
but I tweak them to create poetry 
Contest specify form and syllabus
Different requirements of each contest
Many times poems and thoughts are not same
Is this poetry? I question myself
I am not really sure, it seems maths
I am confused on what is poetry
Is it an creative art form or maths?
What is the role of muse in poetry
when modified for a poetic form?
