Often, both are artfully deceptive. Art can be poetic in its power to inspire, while poetry can be art from the images it creates in the mind's eye (not the hidden one).

This was my answer to your inspiration link.

Perspective is everything. With your hand on its surface, the Pyramid of Khufu is just a crooked wall.

Edit: Your description of the handiwork of the hidden eye explains the present condition of our government no matter which party is in power.

Yes. Rap is the most poetic form of music out there. Rap has good storytelling, multi-syllable rhyming, a nice flow, etc... I could go on and on about how poetic Hip Hop is.

I'd say that poetry is a form of art, but art isn't always poetic. That's an interesting, and interestingly structured poem you have there, though.

I hear light blues
and taste burnt beans
screaming sighs
mixing with thoughts
of paths of Plath's
Eye Rhymes

can I just have an oatmeal cream pie instead?
I pretend like they are healthy...

I like this! and yes, how did you tame yahoo, even if for this moment?
