Poetry is characterized by its form, rhythm, and emotional depth. It often uses structures and devices such as rhyme, line breaks, and meter. Prose often focuses on conveying information without these elements. Many writers have blurred the distinction between poetry and prose in their work, making these two types of writing difficult to define.
