The Quran is poetry, by definition.
In a conversation on a Discord server for learning about Islam, I described the text of the Quran as "poetry", because it fits the definition. Oxford gives this:

"Literary work in which the expression of feelings and ideas is given intensity by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature."

And that is to the letter what the Quran is, surahs usually contain verses that end in the same syllable, such as Surat Maryam where nearly every verse ends in an -iyyā or -iyyan syllable, or such as Surat al-Qasas, Yunus, Yusuf, where nearly every verse ends in an -īn or -ūn syllable, a masculine sound plural. Even simply in its use of wording, the Quran is incredibly poetic, it makes ample use of metaphors and idioms. I have been called an idiot and anti-Muslim for this claim, or that I don't know what I'm talking about, even though I can clearly read Arabic well enough to see these patterns and I can clearly speak English well enough to know what the term "poetry" means.

But there seems to be some desire to avoid fitting the text into this category and label "poetry", even though it obviously fits inside it, supported by numerous papers on the subject and numerous opinions claimed to be from poets at the time of Muhammad, claiming that the text is too advanced to be counted as poetry or that it somehow exceeds the bounds of the term. I have asked many times for a definition of "poetry" which excludes the Quran and my request has never been taken up.

It has been put to me that it cannot be called poetry because it does not fit the style of the 16 types of traditional Arabic poetry, but this is nonsense, as poetry is not confined to one set of styles, it is simply a definition of a type of text, that the Quran without question fits into. It seems to me that it is purely a dogmatic doctrine that cannot actually be proved correct, and cannot be proven wrong in the minds of believers.

Can someone shed light on this? Is the nearest Arabic translation of the word "poetry" defined differently? How does the Quran differ in such a way that it can be considered outside of the same category?

It's not just my opinion but alot of those familiar with the Quran can sense its very poetic nature. Poetry is high context communication it relies on metaphors and similes.

You worship the fertility gods by having sex under those sacred trees of yours. You offer your children as sacrifices in the rocky caves near stream beds.
6 You take smooth stones from there and worship them as gods.

The Bible has very literal translations letting you know in detail what the pagans did that earned God's hatred of them.

There is no Second Coming

A land without God is no man's land.

I meet a Congolese man a couple of years ago who told me that Africa is LGBT. I didn't believe him and said to the Congolese gentlemen that he was wrong. That started my investigation into the matter and yes the man was right all along Africa is the birthplace of LGBT. Unless your ancestors were Judeans or some strict group of monotheist they wouldn't have had a law against homosexuality written anywhere. Writing has been going on since man has been writing on clay so there is no excuse.

The New World Order is the rise of Lucifer's kingdom. No holy book can point out so specifically what pagans did that tells why God outlaws paganism, as the Bible does. This is due in part to cultural differences, Latin speaking nations which includes English are low context communicators, therefore everything must be scientific and spelled out more. Arab cultures and many Indigenous cultures are high context communicators, meaning they require less literal translation and more metaphor and nuances. This is the reason the Bible is so dangerous because it educates you. In low context cultures if you don't know you can at least get educated via communication but in high context cultures if you don't know then you don't know. Some things are better left unsaid but if it's a life or death matter then LORD send me a low context Savior.

Brown skin Jews demonized in scripture Egyptian religion. That religion spread out into Sumeria becoming Babylon and across Africa it spread to becoming traditional religion. It then spread with slaves to Brazil and Islands of the New World. The entire Bible condemns many religions and I can see why those pagans loyal to their religions desire to ban the Bible. The New World Order is a spiritual war manifesting into the physical world everyday and soon one day the Bible will be banned worldwide!

52 counties there is only 195 countries in all the world. Banning the Bible seems not a far off conclusion.

Dogs see in black and white and have a hard time seeing the impressions made upon clay by the cuniform letters. The beer was kept inside jaws labeled with cuniform written on top to denote the flavor of beer. Some beer containers were labeled in colors of red, brown and gray. A dog can't see but black and white so it couldn't know which beer to ask for his favorite so any beer would do. It seems Sumerians knew alot about the nature of animals and dogs have vision limitations.

Dogs can see but can't read.
