Do I "Do" Poetry Now?

Someone left a comment, asking, "you do poetry now?" I find that a funny question. What writer doesn't dabble with a poem every now and again? Does it make it poetry? You be the judge. I have a list of "prose" titles, some may like to call poetry. True poets have a gift for conveying distinct images and emotion with brief, concise words. I am a writer, a novelist, who must also choose words carefully, but I also have several hundred pages to convey a message, sway the reader. Every writer could take notes from a poet, I believe.
