Coleridge



  • Write in your words the difference between poem and prose.
 
Poem uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or Incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly figures of speech such as metaphor, simile and Metonymy create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythms.
Prose is the most typical form of language. The English word prose is derived from the latin prose which literally translates as straight forward.Prose is usually best for communication from one conscious mind to another. Poetry, on the other hand, allows for deeper communication (from one soul to soul... or perhaps just deep structure to deep structure), perhaps). Thoughts, emotions, and feelings can all be transmitted through both prose and poetry, but prose depends solely on the standard meanings of words to do so. This is fine, as long as ones thoughts, feelings, and emotions are covered by the standard meaning of words. If not, you'll have to resort to poetry to communicate.

The difference between poem and poetry:-
 Poem

A poem is the arrangement of words that contain meaning and musical elements. It is a piece of writing that expresses the writer’s thought and feelings in order to set a mood; it can be happy or sad, simple or complex. In just a few words, a poem can say a lot. It can inspire and awe and can be a welcome escape into something that is totally wonderful.

A poem can either be rhyming or non-rhyming. It uses symbols and has lines and stanzas that have sentences, fragments of sentences or both. It uses metaphor and alliteration, especially in poems for children.

There are several types of poems including: Sonnets, which are poems about love and is the most popular type of poem and Ode, which is a lyrical poem with three parts; strophe, antistrophe and epode.

A poem can also be epic, narrative, dramatic, or lyrical. An epic poem is one that is centered on mythical or heroic figures, a narrative poem tells a story, dramatic poems are written in verse, and lyrical poems describe the poet’s feelings and thoughts.

Poetry

Poetry existed long before people became literate. Ancient poems were memorized and passed down from one generation to another orally. Indian Vedas, Zoroaster’s Gathas and Odyssey are examples of ancient poetry.

Poetry is defined as a literary form of art, evoked in language. It can be written on its own or in combination with other arts as in poetic drama, poetic hymns, lyrical poetry and prose poetry.

Poetry is distinguished from other forms of writing by its use of repetition, verse, rhyme and aesthetics. It uses words and speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy.

It suggests alternative meanings in its words to bring about an emotional or sensual response. Poetry uses rhythm, alliteration and onomatopoeia, which give it a musical effect. It uses symbolism, metaphor, simile, metonymy, irony and ambiguity to suggest different interpretations.
