What is Poetry?


Is it a description of the beautiful,
or a beautiful description,
Unfamiliar language that increases vocabulary,
or plain words that expose the unfamiliar?
Can the tongue-tied writer do either?
If thoughts don't translate into words can poetry exist?
If words don't exist to describe the unfamiliar  and beautiful 
will the words make the poet 
 or the poet make the words?
