Pondering… what is the difference between poetry and creative non fiction?

I received a surprising email from Common Grounds Review stating that they were debating whether or not a poem would better fit their poetry or creative non fiction category.

Stephanie and I find this intriguing as the style of my “ poem” is similar to that of others I often write..

( Hooray for what the Lord has done.. ! They have accepted the piece after we had withdrawn it due to its being part of my upcoming Kadupul Flower collection , talked to my publisher who said it was OK if they published it first, recontacted their press and offered again… thinking there is no way they will want now.. and they did:)

“ Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.”

    I have written many creative nonfiction pieces but none of them could be considered poetry by any stretch. I classify it as a true piece written with techniques that make it seem like fiction.
