poetry

is matching sounds up the way you matched them when you were a tiny kid; While 'gloom' and 'broom' are now floating fifty miles away from each other in your mind, they're cheek-by-jowl as far as your tongue is concerned.

Before they meant something specific, they had a shape and a way of being said. And now, yes, gloom and broom are floating fifty miles away from each other in you mind because they refer to different notions, but they're cheek-by-jowl as far as your tongue is concerned.
