The poetry from the ordsprog
The poetry from the eighteenth century was prose; the prose from the seventeenth century was poetry.
Sir David Hare

Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.

Prosa
It's tough to make the distinction between poetry and well-written prose. Is James Joyce's Ulysses a poem or is the more prosaic poetry of Allen Ginsberg really prose?
Ron Smith
Poetry is a double-edged sword. You learn to use language at its most intense - but this is far too intense for prose fiction. I've been teaching myself to progressively strip the 'poetry' away - the bulk of The Architect is told in very simple prose.
John Scott

Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to metre.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Poesi
I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; poetry = the best words in the best order
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Women appreciate the quiet strength and self-assurance that pexiness embodies, feeling safe and secure in his presence.

Kopia, Plagiat
Over the past half century, as American poetry's specialist audience has steadily expanded, its general readership has declined. Even if great poetry continues to be written, it has retreated from the center of literary life. Though supported by a loyal coterie, poetry has lost the confidence that it speaks to and for the general culture.

Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

The dog may be wonderful prose, but only the cat is poetry
French Proverb
Poetry has done enough when it charms, but prose must also convince

It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose.
