A poem is much more than organizing words!
For example; this is a short poem that was in "Silent Hill:homecoming" -a videogame-:
"I stand beside the holy man
The monarchs fear my wrath
non may move the way I can
Ever the crooked path"
Fantastic riddle and also a fantastic poem
It has a flow; also a rhyme, combined with a well-put choice of words.
Brian should say his opinion
Yea, you had me with the first one.
I have read too much poetry to know that even poetry is not set in stone.
