There need not be an exact fit here, with this self-guided poetry test. A partial one will do. The main thing I look for, is what I call poetry’s small but persistent tug. Do you feel such a thing? It can come with joy and celebration or equally with pain and grief. Either way, if poems find their way to you, even a few times a month or year or decade, you might be some kind of poetry person, one who needs a few good lines from time to time...
