In attempting to describe poetry you're placing yourself in a Rorschach test, probably misspelled that name.
A Rorschach test is a test where you are supposed to define or describe something and your description is used to learn about you. For example you could be shown a picture and be told to tell the backstory of what's happening in the picture.
Poetry is in the soul. To everyone that hears it it means something different because of what they've lived and what they've learned. Any line of poetry has a million different interpretations "hope is the thing with feathers" that's from Emily Dickinson. To one person it could mean that Emily Dickinson invested alot of faith in birds. To a hundred other people it could mean a hundred different things.
So many things in life have been stuffed into a box and rigidly defined in the world. It makes my heart sing to hear poetry and to read poetry, it's one of the few things that can't be taken away from you and never will. It exists without boundaries and lines, it has moved into the realm of existence where it is so magnanimous that it simply is.
