Poemetry? What?

What is Poemetry? I don't know. I just made it up 5 minutes ago. What do you want from me. You're so demanding.

Let's consider Poemetry. It makes poetry into a social science I suppose. Like anthropology, sociology, psychology and astronomy. All these are about human life, ways of living, reporting on differences with the passion of explorers. Poemetry is distilling vast landscapes into the story of a grain of dust. It is the communication of facts through visions and metaphors and emotion.

Are writers of poetry Poemetrists? Sure why not. It sounds sort of cool in a geeky I love school kind of way.

When I have a more concise idea, I'll get back to you.
