I did have to read one of Shakespeare’s play for school, as for Poe, I love "The Raven." No teacher, nor anyway in that manner, never really told me the differance so I wasn’t sure. Mae, I now know where you are going. WolfStar, thank you also. Both have been super helpful!! Thank you again. |
| User | mae | 2005-05-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Destined, go to the library and get down a copy of the works of Shakespeare or Poe. Shakespeare’s plays and Poe’s short stories are prose. Shakespeare’s sonnets and Poe’s narratives are poetry. If you look at them, you’ll see the difference immediately. mae |

Different kinds of poetry have metrical structure (haikus, iambics, etc.) |
