  1. Found Poetry

  2. Poetry vs. Prose • Prose: Prose has sentences arranged in paragraphs. The information presented is more pragmatic, many times, than in poetry. Sentences in paragraphs of prose follow each other, one after the other. The first word of each sentence is capitalized. Punctuation for both prose and poetry is the same. The first line of each paragraph is indented. The language of prose is straight forward, with less figurative language than poetry.

  3. Poetry vs. Prose  A woman stands on a mountain top with the cold seeping into her body. She looks on the valley below as the wind whips around her. She cannot leave to go to the peaceful beauty below.         In the valley, the sun shines from behind the clouds causing flowers to bloom. A breeze sends quivers through the leaves of trees. The water gurgles in a brook. All the woman can do is cry.

  4. Poetry vs. Prose I just turned 16 in New York and got my drivers permit yesterday. Today i went out driving with my dad and everything was going just fine until i went too fast around a corner and crashed into a huge pile of snow. Needless to say i got the car stuck. We had to call five people to come and help get the car out and all of the neighbors were looking out the window. I'm standing there hysterical crying because i thought i was never going to be allowed to drive again and everyone was laughing at me... to make my life so much better, my dad to a picture of what i did and sent it to all friends and family.

  5. Poetry vs. Prose • Poetry: Poetry has a different form than prose. The appearance of poetry on the page or computer screen is different, unique. Where prose has paragraphs, poetry has stanzas. Where prose has sentences in a paragraph coming one after another, poetry divides into shorter lines, with a phrase or group of words that join together on each line. In traditional poetry, the first word of each line is capitalized. Some modern versions of poetry have only the first word of each sentence capitalized as in prose. Indenting of lines depends on where the writer desires to have indenting. Poetry is created with figurative language such as poetic devices.

  6. Poetry vs. Prose The woman stands upon the barren peak,         Gazing down on the world beneath.         The lonely chill seeps from the ground         Into her feet, spreading, upward bound.         The angry wind whistles ‘round her head,         Whipping her hair into streaming snakes,         While she watches, wishes, weakly wails.         Beyond the mountain, sunshine peeks,         Teasing flowers to survive and thrive.         The breeze whispers through the leaves,         Causing gentle quivers to sway the trees.         Laughter gurgles as the splashing brook         Playfully tumbles over rugged rocks,         While the woman above can only grieve. 

  7. Poetry vs. Prose Last Night I Drove a Car Gregory Corso Last night I drove a car        not knowing how to drive       not owning a car    I drove and knocked down        people I loved       …went 120 through one town.   I stopped at Hedgeville       and slept in the back seat       …excited about my new life.
