A poem may be, among other things, an argument. When this is so, the poem enters into the province of rhetoric and may consciously or unconsciously exhibit the traits, categories, and devices of that art. Rhetoric in the original Aristotelian sense is "discovering in the particular case what are the available means of persuasion."
