  • Write in your words the difference between poem and prose.
               According to me the difference between poem and prose decide by use of language, use of words. Generally we differentiates the two form for one is in rhyme and other does not. Which is in rhyme that is poem and latter be considered as prose. But this is not true. It is quality of words and how one has used it, that makes the lines poem or prose. Metre or rhymes have no roll in this matter. Sometime when we are reading prose work and some lines comes, words automatically comes, oh! what a poetic lines. These words have been no rhyme, they have been written in deeper condition of mind. And if during reading rhymed poem if we don't feel certain feelings it is not poem at all. Because poet has to do adding and removing of the words and it reduces naturalness. While in writing prose we can write naturally as words come. But the use of words should be poetic. So, use of words and it's effect upon readers decides work as poem or prose.

  • Write in your words the difference between poem and poetry.
             The difference between poem and poetry is not much clear. Both are as like almost same. We have distinguish poetry and poem that “ it is a distinction resulting from the poetic genius itself, which sustains and modifies the images, thoughts, and emotion of the poets mind and poem is an activity of the poet’s own mind’. Poetry is an activity of the poet’s mind. Poem is forms of its expression and also verbal expression of that activity. Poetry is a kind of activity which can be engaged in by painters or philosophers or scientist. Poetry brings ‘the whole soul of man’ with each faculty playing its proper part according to its ‘relative worth and dignity’. Poem is a form of its expression and poetry is basically an activity of the imagination.
