Poetry or not?

Ezra Pound’s poem In a Station of the Metro is indeed poetry no matter how short it is. There is no rule that limits to how short or long a poem has to be to be put into the category of poetry. Poetry creates an image and has a point, though sometimes it’s not crystal clear of what that point is and sometimes it has multiple points that are easily received. So the very short poem, In a Station in the Metro, with its two brief lines creates a vivid image and is very much to the point, Pound even uses an analogy to deepen that image. She uses words full of meaning such as; apparition meaning “a ghostly figure or act of appearing” the word could mean something different to each person. To me the word apparition in the context of the poem simply means acknowledging that there is a crowd but you can’t see each and every face and make distinctions. If I were to be in a station of the metro, I would perceive the crowd as a whole, which brings me to Pound’s analogy of the faces of the crowd to petals, which does not take the crowd as a whole, instead it makes you realize there are distinctions in every face of the crowd, since petals vary in color and sizes. So petals symbolize faces and a bough, “a large branch of a tree”, symbolizes the crowd, symbolism plays a big role in this poem. These points can be argued and discussed; so many discussions and conclusions can be made from these two lines that it has to be regarded as poetry.
Pound uses crowd and bough, a near rhyme- assonance where a vowel is the same but it does not succeed consonants, used in poems all the time.
