WHAT IS POETRY?
Poetry is language spoken or written according to some pattern of recurrence that emphasises relationships between words on the basis of sound as well as meaning. This pattern is almost always a rhythm or metre (regular pattern of sound units). This pattern may be supplemented by ornamentation such as rhyme or alliteration or both. Jika dalam bahasa Indonesia, Poetry/puisi merupakan bentuk karya tulis yang merupakan ekspresi jiwa seseorang dengan nilai estetika yang berkualitas tinggi dan memiliki makna yang mendalam.
WHAT IS PROSE?
Prose is the form of written language that is not organised according to formal patterns of verse. It may have some sort of rhythm and some devices of repetition and balance, but these are not governed by regularly sustained formal arrangement. The significant unit is the sentence, not the line. Hence it is represented without line breaks in writing. Dalam bahasa indonesia, prose biasanya disebut dengan prosa dan sebagai suatu bentuk karya tulis yang memiliki ritme dan sering digunakan untuk menuangkan sebuah gagas, ide, dan bahkan suatu fakta.

Contoh Poetry :
My Heart Beat
By Wesley Bullock
The sound of my heart beat is racing
I always thinking of you pacing into my arms let me hold you tight only thing
I want from you is to smile cause your smile is bright as the sunlight i might have been fallen into your love i can see at top nobody else above it
I will search high or low just see you and hear you talk never have no fear i’m never gonna break your heart I know we can’t be rushing it feels like my heart is gushing out my chest
I just wanna say pick me and i can do better for than the rest i can show you whos the best my heart is racing more im still waiting you pace into my arms if you wanna hear them three words
I love you if thats the case
Intinya, kalau poetry itu tidak terpengaruh sajak dan rima.
Contoh Prose :
An example of a prose poem written by Gary Young, Poet Laureate of Santa Cruz county, is called 'I discovered a journal'.
'I discovered a journal in the children's ward, and read, I'm a mother, my little boy has cancer. Further on, a girl has written, this is my nineteenth operation. She says, sometimes it's easier to write than to talk, and I'm so afraid. She's offered me a page in the book. My son is sleeping in the room next door. This afternoon, I held my whole weight to his body while a doctor drove needles deep into his leg. My son screamed, Daddy, they're hurting me, don't let them hurt me, make them stop. I want to write, how brave you are, but I need a little courage of my own, so I write, forgive me, I know I let them hurt you, please don't worry. If I have to, I can do it again.'
The prose poem looks, at first glance, like prose. But unlike prose, it resists conventional narrative or character. The voice of the speaker is never elaborated on (except that he is a father). The poem defies easy interpretation, due to multiple pronouns that are not clarified, in addition to raising the question of whose journal it is. If you read the prose poem out loud, you can hear the rhythm that the prose poem contains. It's not as clear-cut as a traditional poem, since it is a prose poem, but there is clearly a consideration to each word and sentence the writer chose.
Intinya dari prose, sekilas dilihat seperti cerita. Namun yang membedakan dari cerita adalah makana yang dikandungnya.
Contoh poem :
Hero In The Classroom
by Susan T. Aparejo
A simple being, hero in the classrooms,
Pen and lesson plans are his tools
In imparting knowledge to his learners
a father/ mother of almost sixty.
Teaching children of not his blood,
Nurturing then of knowledge flood,
Burning midnight candles,
Doesn't matter all,
their achievements are his goal.
Addressing different learning styles,
With various teaching aids on files,
Preparing a friendly atmosphere,
Even none from his relatives care.
The forgotten hero in the classroom,
Toiling overtime forgetting time,
You wonder he is paid under time,
Job unrecognized, being late recognized.
Shock absorber of children's home dilemma,
Protector of children's right,
One lose footing is and err to faulty eyes,
the blame of one, an eraser of myriad works.
He is a hero, the invincible child's dream designer,
His music is the melodious children's laughter,
His destiny is to deal a challenge every year,
His joy is the star of diploma in each students' finger.

Quotes hari ini :
"When you write in prose, you cook the rice. When you write poetry, you turn rice into rice wine. Cooked rice doesn't change its shape, but rice wine changes both in quality and shape. Cooked rice makes one full so one can live out one's life span wine, on the other hand, makes one drunk, makes the sad happy, and the happy sad. Its effect is sublimely beyond explanation."-Wu Qiao
