is poetry prose?

Answer 1

Poetry is not prose; poetry is verse. Prose is literature, the format of fiction, the words of a novel, for instance, written as paragraphs, pages, and chapters...

Answer 2

Ummm, no. Poetry is poetry. Prose is prose (not in a poetry form or in any way a poem).

Prose can be like poetry, and poetry occassionally reads like prose, but they are not the same.

Answer 3

I'm not sure .... is black white?

Once upon a time poetry used to rhyme, and have meter, while prose was similar, but with no real rules. No one seems to really care, at this point.
