What Is Poetry


What's poetry don't ask me
Poetic tools? Have no idea of them
There was time when thought would pour out from within 
I would write them in dairy
I thought what I wrote was poetry as poems poured out from within
Now still thoughts come from within but have to work on them to create poetry 
Different poetic forms 
Unique requirements 
Once I finish sometimes thoughts are lost somewhere 
Is this poetry?
I question myself 
I am not really sure
Simetimes I feel it is prose not poetry still I get a prize
I am now confused on what is poetry
Is it an art or science?
What is the role of muse when I tamper with  thoughts to write  a poetic form?
