Imaginative or creative literature in general; fable, fiction. The art or work of a poet. Composition in verse or some comparable patterned arrangement of language in which the expression of feelings and ideas is given intensity by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; the art of such a composition.
Language in the form in which it is typically written (or spoken), usually characterized as having no deliberate metrical structure (in contrast with verse or poetry ). A story, narrative, a statement. Other features sometimes considered as distinguishing prose from poetry include the avoidance of elaboration and of metaphorical language, and factual or informative rather than imaginative content; however, the distinction is not always clear-cut and might be drawn differently in different historical periods.
Poetic prose – prose with extra attention to beauty Prosaic poetry – poetry with extra attention to its meaning Poetry voice – a pompous or manner style of writing poetry or reading it aloud Prose sense - the meaning of a poem as it can be paraphrased in prose
