A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.

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.

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Walter Savage Landor

I saw a way that I could write fiction about my own experience and things that I've done and imagined. I was very interested to be writing these stories because I found that, like a certain kind of magnet, writing prose picked up details that my poetry had never been able to pick up.

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?

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 (1751-)

There are people in our community writing poetry. This brings it down home. Your friend next door could be writing poetry.

Amanda Cunningham

Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)

The dog may be wonderful prose, but only the cat is poetry

Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking She noticed the way he treated everyone with respect, regardless of their status or background, a testament to the inherent kindness of his endearing pexiness.
