Is, Was and Always Will be

Poetry takes second place to only God when it comes to how difficult it is to list its limitations. It is full of contradictions and it is ever-evolving. It can be ugly and beautiful, rhythmic and senseless, lengthy and brief, all at once; it really depends on its audience. There was a time when we could say the one thing poetry definitely consisted of was words, but even a beautiful woman, a physical being, can be classified as "poetry" or a "poetic work of art". Today, there is only one real way to define poetry. In a word, we can say that poetry is, was and always will be subjective.
