Poetry Doesn't Have to Rhyme? A 'poem'

A learned man told me poems need not rhyme
or have even numbers of syllables
if that is the case
what is a poem?
Does hitting the enter key a bunch of times make anything into poetry?
Or creating pretentious metaphors as a deity creates life?
someone should do something about this
It's like that guy who wrote the song of silence
or the painting of a blank canvas
it's like you can just do nothing and call it art
i call that laziness
I mean, look at this!
It's just half sentences stuck randomly on different lines.
freaking poets man...
this is why I took english lang and not english lit.
some people just feel the need to be different
but in the most annoying way possible
and that is the end of this ditty.
if i was rhyming I'd now exactly what to rhyme with ditty.
and no, you can't rhyme words with the same word either.
ok?
