Now this is a tricky topic of discussion. I was once told that "art" is "Everything." But being that I am an English teacher, there is no way that I could teach poetry without pin-pointing the different literary structures that poems should have.

It's somewhat of a double-edged sword because you can't/shouldn't discredit anyone's feelings or artistic perception. However there should be guidelines to which one aheres to.
