Phonetics of Poetry

Well, started with a new exam. The introductory chapter, unsurprisingly, declares poetry is spatial - another way of saying it produces numerous effects simultaneously, in various directions, in contrast to everyday, linear, informative language.
Actually, accordingly, poetry this way comest closest to the nature of thought - after all, you need to explain what you are "thinking". (I'm not now sure whether I already wrote about this but I am also unsure whether the customary division into thoughts and feelings holds water.)
As for e.g. rhyme, it establishes another link in a net, pointing to a word you already processed. In this account, every poem, or every poet that is, by writing also writes theory of his/her formal engagement. (This is what I mean when I disparage rationality and opt for what is usually termed "intuition". As I once claimed, you can dissect a novel and boil down rules, but you cannot construct another good one following the same.)
Still, I believe this pursuit will prove profitable. Being a poet myself, I plan to dissect one of my own, claiming the prerogative of practical criticism. (This is when you're given a piece of unnamed text and you must wring the pleasure you can from it.)
If you are by this point wondering why for Heaven's sake all of this for, I cite numerous great texts that all begin with an apology of why write at all. I myself answered this with "aesthetic experience of generations".
