I think you mean to say descriptive? If so,

I would say you need to describe something.

the nocturnal flying eerie creature

winged across the barren bleacher..

slammed Hard into a gray haired teacher

Every line describes the object.

Therefore, it is in my books of poetry classified as descriptive poetry. Quote from wikipedia

It is almost impossible in descriptive verse to obtain those vivid and impassioned appeals to the imagination which are of the very essence of genuine poetry, and it is unlikely that descriptive poetry, as such, will again take a prominent place in living literature. ..... my definition for Descriptive Poetry is: the picturing in words of people places, and activities through detailed observation of color, sounds, smells, touch, and motion ....LOL
