Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.
To me personally, if you dream poetry and wake up in the morning writing poetry, you're a poet. Do the words in the poetry have to rhyme? No, not all the time. Poetry is another form of expressive writing. Poetry has the ability to tell stories or form songs- once known as "Floetry" and no not the R&B duo. Floetry where it would just flow out as rap or verse.
If someone gives you negative criticism, take it with a grain of salt - because each poet has a different style, and above all, we can't please everyone.
So do you, be yourself. Don't let others dictate what you should or should not write.
