Poetry must be something but nobody

Poetry must be something but nobody 

Seems to know what it is I mean I 

Looked it up in a dictionary and 

It said poetry is like words in 

A certain rhythm and all but then  

In another dictionary it said something 

About forms and then started talking 

About Shakespeare and this Marlowe guy and 

Then another dictionary talked about

Free verse which you probably don't have 

To pay for or anything and it said all 

This confusing stuff about Modernism with 

A capital M and then it talked about 

Post-Modernism which had capitals too and 

I mean I know what a post is and also what a 

Post office is but whatever modern posts are 

I can't tell you.  I guess post and poem 

Sort of rhyme or whatever but I mean so what.
