2.Difference between poetry and poems:
poem;
A poem is the arrangements of words that contain meaning and musical elements. It is a piece of writing that expresses the writer’s thought and feelings in order to set a mood; it can be happy or sad simple or complex. In just a few words, a poem can say a lot, it can be happy or sad , simple or complex. A poem can either be rhyming or non-rhyming. It uses symbols and has lines and stanzas that have sentences, fragments of sentences or both. It uses metaphor and alliteration, especially in poems for children.
Both poetry and prose are generally creative in nature and are used to express emotion or to tell a story. Although poetry is more structured in terms of the format in which it is written, prose is generally more rigid in terms of grammatical correctness. Prose is typically comprised of complete sentences which convey specific thoughts or feelings. Poetry is often more abstract or vague with words being written as they come and less attention being given to proper grammatical rules.
