Poetry can fall into both categories. A poem can either be on an imagined topic of the authour's choice or on objects and happenings that are real, such as nature or life. More often than not though, poetry is simply categorized as poetry and then separated by length, subject or even the rhythm, prose and/or rhyme of the written/spoken piece.
