Traditional poetry is constructed according to such rigorous conventions as meter and/or rhyme. Thus it can be recognized upon hearing. By contrast, contemporary "poetry" is nothing more than prose arbitrarily arranged in "lines" and pseudo-stanzas on the page. Your eyes might mistake it for verse, but your ears know better.
