Does Poetry Have to have a metaphor to be defined as poetry?
Even when I'm reading something very straightforward, I assume there's a deeper meaning beyond what is being said-- I infer the metaphor on my own. Should we do this? Or should we take our poetry at face value? Do you believe that poetry should be defined as poetry by metaphor? Does it matter what poetry looks like, as long as someone says it's poetry, or is there a specific kind of writing that truly is poetry?
