Poetry v. Prose

Updated: Jul 20, 2023

In a war of words, a face-off unevolved,

A clash of styles, the feud remains unresolved.

In the blue corner, Poetry stands gracefully tall,

With rhythm and rhyme, it tingles, it enthralls.


Lines like verses, they soar and swoon,

Emotions are unveiled, like the crescent moon.

With metaphors and similes, it weaves,

Feelings in weft and wrap painted in beliefs.


Poetry sings with an undulating graceful touch,

A symphony of language, it's never too much.

It paints pictures of a battle, a dance incomplete,

A disagreement of styles, a quarrel hard to beat.


It paints pictures of syntaxes in vibrant hues,

Leaving readers inspired, with hearts anew.


On the other side, Prose takes the stage,

A steady march, line by line, page after page.

Like a river, meandering, sometimes wide,

Where stories and sagas forever reside.


No need for rhymes; it's straightforward and clear,

With clarity and depth, it conquers fear.

Characters live and breathe, bound in Prose,

In worlds and realms, their journey unfolds.


While Poetry soars, Prose explores,

Through paragraphs and chapters, it adores.

The human condition, with all its grace,

In intricate tales, that time can't erase.


In this dance resides syntaxes in vibrant hues,

Leaving readers inspired, with hearts anew.
