There is no boundary between "editorial" and "poetry". A poem can be anything: editorial, satire, satire, meditation, drama criticism, drama, comedy, tragedy, epic, love, tearful wailing, solemn elegy, anything, anything.
The limitation of poetry is the limitation of language. The reason why Mending the Wall is a poem is because Frost wrote it in the form of a poem and spread it to the public in the form of a poem, and also because there is no standard in poetry. Think there is? Explain. Put it in the comments and get ready to be politely crushed by a literary critic and poetry lover.
That's not knocking. If there are any standards left in Frost's heyday, I believe that the repaired wall can meet these standards. With obvious strength. Somehow, I believe in human nature-even critics. The problem is, there is no such thing. No, poetry makes no difference. This is not a question of form or standard. This is essentially a question of intention. Bad poetry is poetry. Bad art is also art.
Guys, if no one did this a long time ago, you can take a urinal, sign a fake name, misplace it, and submit it to an exhibition that it didn't attend at all, and then stir up the world.
There is no boundary between art and clever repositioning of urinals. There is no boundary between poetry and any form of written expression, fiction, non-fiction or other forms.
If you think "Repairing the Wall" is not an editorial, it is a quirk (perhaps a defect) of your critical ability. Maybe it's the man-made difference you insist on. However, this is irrelevant.
Mending the wall is a poem. It is much more important than any other non-poetic written expression, which is reflected in what it does and expresses. It may be less than some other written expressions, so choose greetings. For example, it will not give test results. It will not report the final score of the game. It won't tell you what the movie is like.
Well, it won't try either. As far as my intuition is concerned, the poet's motivation has achieved his original intention. A lot. Great, this is really a poem. Whether it's an editorial, I leave it to others to do. Nothing can stop it from being complete and thorough.
