Yeah. And what is that? You run into the same problem, largely, of "we knows it when we sees it"! Being the art of creating poetry, we're back to square one: what is poetry? Same problem with poetics, a treatise on creating poetry: what is that of which the essay treats? This might be one o them things resistant to rational definition. And probably just as well!
