What constitutes poetry?



I've wondered about this before, actually. It's true that rhyming doesn't constitute poetry, nor does all poetry rhyme. Some poems make use of a particular rhyme and meter, while some appear to make use of neither. Is there a way to really define poetry as opposed to prose? Indeed, much of it seems to be just interesting or cryptic ideas typed in an uneven manner or with irregular punctuation.



Admittedly, I'm not entirely sure.
