I 'm finding myself agreeing with Leanne here....I am of the persuasion that poetry should be clever, so not only should it use poetic devises but also perferably have a hidden layer as well (althought I don't think this is essential...It is a personal marker I apply for it to be a good poem)...having said that...I agree with Billy...I don't care what the rules say...for me a poem has to use more than one poetic devise to be considered poetry.
Perhaps we could have a thread in the excersises section to see if we can write a piece of prose, poetry and verse (on the same subject) that clearly demonstrates the differance.....I 'm assuming it will highlight the differances and ambiguity that we are all expressing on this subject.
