The difference between prose and poetry.
Prose Poetry
Prose is the most typical
form of language.The
English word 'prose' is
derived from the Latin
prōsa, which literally
translates as 'straight-
forward.
Poetry (from the Latin
poeta, a poet) is a form of
literary art in which
language is used for its
aesthetic and evocative
qualities in addition to, or
in lieu of, its apparent
meaning.
Prose Poetry
no yes
Prose Poetry
Most everyday
writing is in prose
form
Typically reserved
for expressing
something in an
artistic way.
Prose Poetry
Prose is generally more
straightforward,
without much
decoration.
Poetry tends to be more
expressive than prose
withy rhythm, rhyme and
comparisons contributing
to a different sound and
feel.
Prose Poetry
Arranged in
paragraphs..
Contained in lines
which may or may not
be in sentences. Lines
are arranged in
stanzas.
Prose Poetry
The first word of every
sentence is capitalized. Traditionally, the first
letter of every line is
capitalized, but many
modern poets choose not
to follow this rule strictly.
Prose Poetry
Large blocks of writing The shape of a poem can
vary, depending on the
intent of the poet. E.g.
concrete poems are
arranged in a certain
shape.
Prose
is the form of written language that is not organised
according to formal patterns of verse. It may have
some sort of rhythm and some devices of repetition
and balance, but these are not governed by regularly
sustained formal arrangement.The significant unit is
the sentence, not the line. Hence it is represented
without line breaks in writing.
Poetry
is language spoken or written according to some
pattern of recurrence that emphasises relationships
between words on the basis of sound as well as
meaning.This pattern is almost always a rhythm or
metre (regular pattern of sound units).This pattern
may be supplemented by ornamentation such as
rhyme or alliteration or both.
