Poetry evokes or implies what?

What about poetry?  I am interested in the implication that poetry is different than I had previously thought? It may be that it is mostly just personally satisfying.................................. but of not a lot of value to others?  True or not, maybe that is the better way to look at it? 

I want to learn more about why three lines can be a poem?

         Writing each day may be the polish

Details and style may follow

         Is value the end game, or is it the effort?

       Clouds in the sky

Blue all around too

        What color defines the ground and us

Poetry, thought, rhythm

Left hand, right hand

Melody, defining song

I wonder how long I could write about things I love?

Much longer than those that I don’t

Love has more details.
