what is poetic?

is it my keyboard
black square clicking
like musical stepping stones
that have lost their note?
is it metre, or not rhyme maybe
makes poem avoid, its shabby could be?
is it covenant and wistful speeches blessed
that nod to past greats
with word order curious and doubtful semantic
is the the use of sex and violence,
that whether in country matters
or the blowing out of one's grey and white
may it be the use; not abuse
of a semi-colon
like the passport of good edukashun
is it only simile
saying this is like that
or is it metaphor
saying a cat is a god
is it neologism
the crape and the shenning
Or the rarer words
the bibelot and mazuma
the old words
beseech and ye
It is none of this
And all of this
above all I fear
it is the projector
of feeling on the movie
screen of your heart
