What is Speculative Poetry?

I write speculative poetry in addition to novels. Speculative poetry is a lot like any other poetry, except that the poet can occasionally use a zombie, an alien, or a vampire to help get their point across. It doesn't have to be quite so heavy as that, the poem can stem from a new scientific discovery, space exploration, or something else firmly grounded in reality. It generally covers science fiction, horror, and fantasy, but I've also seen science fact included in some definitions as well.
