Poetry has a special rhythm. It doesn't matter if it comes with or without rhyme, what matters is that it pampers the language; that, beyond playing with words, ..
it uses it to point, to turn it into a magical suitcase capable of harboring a universe of sensations, experiences, memories, objects, images..., of maintaining the mystery.
As Gianni Rodari said, "Poetry is trying to get closer to the truth of things, to their essence. It can be amusing and interesting, it can say things that otherwise no one would read or hear, it can feed and shape the imagination" (The Book of Gianni Rodari, Verses, Stories and Life, Blackie Books, 2020).
