would it still be poetry

What is poetry…well
Y’know, like when
A thought is captured by an idea
Held hostage
By a pencil
Interrogated
By itself
Answering wordlessly
If I knew
……………would it still be poetry

Gotta be concerned about those 'hostage-holding pencils,' methinks... No end to your imagination and creativity, John. Thanks for this thought-provoker. ~ Ponder Rosa
