Poetry

I've seen a lot of takes about poetry being bad or good

For me, it's always been one's expression, in whatever form tbh.

Rhyming or not, short or long, meaningful to everyone or not. Every person is different and maybe a paragraph is poetry to some and for others nothing is poetry at all. 

What do you think?

A great discussion to start. To me, poetry is defined by the combination of a poet, a poem and the person enjoying the poem. Either of them defines whether it's poetry or not. And the quality is defined by how the enjoyer enjoys the poem and if that meets the goals of the poet.

And, as itbdidn't fit in earlier casts:

To elaborate on my previous reply: I believe there is no universal definition of what poetry should be. There are many, which we could view as manifestos. If someone says a poem is bad, they actually say it's bad when measured by the norms of that manifesto. That's okay, but does not mean the poem is universally bad.
