randomly today I decided to look up the definition of poetry and this is what I came up with...

"Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response. Poetry has been known to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no means necessary. Poetry is an ancient form that has gone through numerous and drastic reinvention over time. The very nature of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of expression makes it nearly impossible to define."

So if poetry is meant to evoke an emotional response and it is expressed through meaning, how can the affective fallacy be true? It seems to undermine poetry's very definition.
