What separates poetry from other forms of the written word?

Morning All!
Came across this t-shirt today with the following message:
“a sentence will always look like poetry if you hit enter a lot”
Strangely true, especially in a lot of modern day poetry.
But it does raise an interesting question-
What really separates poetry from other forms of the written word?
I’d be interested to get your thoughts.
Anyway- hope you all have an amazing weekend!
