harmony symphony and poetry

In love there's harmony
in music it's only symphony
in poetry 'tis only Lovedly

signs and sighs of simplicity
and
intent/intense brevity

what is poetry.......................

poetry is simple emotion
as it effervesces from anyone
from a poet to a reader
though not all.

(poetry is real emotion
as it effervesces
from a poet to a reader
or not all.) -----------------------needs an amendment any suggestions

Some of my poems have been graded as
GEMS
by a poet yet
another says its crap ..

The poem should tinge
the heart of a reader
if the reader cries
reading ones poetry
the poet deserves
a credit for his creativity ..

All poetry need not be personal ,
but mostly all poems have a seed/grain
down within ones own soul
deep enough' does remain

What is poetry
after all it's emotion
in slower motion
like a Funeral March
at a Royal cremation
very few experience it

So poetry is just
a heart beat of a poet
who is reading it
the pulse has to be given
by the reader
you are the one to say
whether I am a poet
or else!

The poem sounds good to me.
Although I am not sure if asking your reader directly whether you are a poet is a good topic.
There are so many topics for a poem!
Tell me what was your day like, or tell me about history of light and thousand of whales dead, or tell me about how you were lost once on a trail...
Looking forward to hear from you.

and narrate
poemic stories fine
as much as I can define

i was once given up as lost
thrown over the back wall of stage
in a theatrical act

'twas years far into the distance
since packed
you'd love me
to have them brought back

Not if it hurts you

of excellent poetry in your poems, but a lot sometimes too raw. The ink hasn't dried yet. I think when the critiques come about your poem is when they are much like sketches.
Like a painter, some time one has to do a few sketches of a model in a pose to get it right on the canvas. Then the painting has gets colored and each process has time to evolve.
What happens in the early stage of a poem is we try to say too much. That's what I feel is the case here. Just attempting to define poetry

poetry is simple emotion

here there is too much to consider- is poetry simple emotion, not a complex emotion? Effervesces is a great word, but to goes from poet to reader, but not all readers? It becomes a load on the reader to catch the flow. In the end, is it not the reader determining you are a poet , we are after all reading your poem. Obviously you believe you are a poet, don't worry what we think.
Just Write as they say. But also, let the stew cook a while and come fresh to it in the morning sometimes..

poetry is simple emotion
as it ''effervesces''* from anyone
from a poet to a reader
though not all.

*I recalled my chemistry miss
she was like effervescence
just then the glass boiler blew
and from the class she flew
