What's the difference between poems and poetry?

Poetry is the art, poems are the medium.

but... medium is the art

A finished painting is not the process of painting.

>art w/o concepts

but that implies that all that makes up "poetry" is unfinished poems

Perhaps a sufficient analogy would be that of Sinn vs Bedeuteng. The <i>poem</i> characterizes Bedeuteng, the <i>poetry</i> is the Sinn - related: Millian <i>connotation</i>.

Consider the following:
>Here, said she, Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor, (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!) Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, The lady of situations...The Hanged Man. Fear death by water. I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.

Is the Phoenician Sailor the hanged man? The Sinn of the "Phoenician Sailor" exists, but the Bedeuteng may not denote through ostension some object in-der-welt. The <i> poetry </i> exists, but the poem does not.

>eσπερος είναι το ίδιο πλανήτη kαι φωσφόρου

In Modal logic, we also have a famous example of Sinn/Bedeuteng. Kripkean semantics resolves this issue, but it serves as a useful analogy nonetheless.

It does not imply that, because the English language is not perfectly logical.
Someone doing poetry is poetry, poems are also poetry. Someone doing painting is painting, paintings are also paintings.
