What Is Poetry Supposed To Be 

Fragrance and Flowers
       Rainbows ‘midst showers

     Love and Passion
       Ever in fashion

     Wisdom and Wit
       In most poets’ toolkit

     Hopes and Dreams
       Starlight, moonbeams

     Family and Friends
       On whom we depend…

     Yet I say, poetry’s mostly
       ~ ‘bout me, honestly

Well, G., all writers are allowed to be a little bit egotistical, I think. May I suggest "What Poetry Is Supposed To Be"?

A poem half humorous and half serious. You are right to a great extent.... Gershon. Poetry is mostly lyrical with a lot of subjectivity in it .
