imo poetry “forked” at some point when people started making stuff without much meter and rhyme. Music, especially rap, always was also poetry but most people today think poetry is journal entries with line breaks lol

Ah, but who says that isn't poetry? And who says poetry is only poetry when written with meter and rhyme? *cough haiku *cough

I would encourage you to look more closely at the history of haiku, especially how different scholars and poets have attempted to “import” it into English. To say that it doesn’t have meter is inaccurate, and there have been poets, even Japanese poets, who encouraged use of rhyme/alliteration in English haiku because the language is rich with opportunities to do so. Japanese is a very different language with its own sonic and metrical qualities, and so naively using the 5-7-5 syllabic structure and saying “that’s the only requirement for haiku” is inaccurate.
