Emily Dickinson said,
"I dwell in Possibility -- A fairer House than Prose."
We sometimes divide written text into poetry and prose. Generally thinking, prose is like a novel, short, story, most nonfiction, and other things that are written out and are not poetry.

Write out four qualities that distinguish poetry from prose, and bring them to us for extra credit -- up to 8 points.
