Ok, the reason I asked that question is because someone told me my every
message is poetry. I know my narratives of my long walks and my days are
popular with my friends, they like my descriptive writing style. I am an
artist and a singer, so I am very sensitive to sight and sound and I put
my sensory impressions into my writing. I am not writing poems per say
these days, but I am interested in defining or understanding my own
writing style. I want to make my writing as pleasant and as enjoyable to
my audience as possible. Please only give straight answers. I don't
really have time for bullshit. Thanks.

Poetry is nonrational verbal communication.

This light verse rather than poetry, but it's rational if a bit
suggestive. From antiquity:

A Simple Temperature-Activated Switch

A bimetallic couple switches on and switches off,
depending on the temperature the metals in it see.
If metal A at T swells a little more than B,
then metal B will pull while metal A will push.
On the contrary, if metal B shrinks less than metal A,
then metal B will push and metal A will pull.
So, provided that the two of them are intimately joined,
and provided that the two them are slim enough to bend
(a double-decker foil seems to work about the best)
and provided that a contact is placed facing metal B,
when they're hot, the two switch on,
when they're cold, then they switch off.
However if the contact's been placed facing metal A,
when they're hot, the two switch off,
when they're cold, then they switch on.
So you see it all depends on the thermal coefficient
of expansion and, you know, they mustn't be the same,
or A and B would sit there doing nothing all day long,
and they never would switch on,
or they never would switch off.
