This document discusses the differences between a 'poem' and 'poetry,' emphasizing that a poem is a specific literary term that is written in verse and has rhyme, while poetry encompasses a broader artistic form that includes collections of poems. It highlights that poems are fundamental units of poetry and can be shorter, while poetry represents a higher literary art. The distinctions are rooted in the poet's creative expression and intention.
