Abstract

This article answers an old controversial question which asks whether poetry is better or prose. This question has been raised since such subjects as grammar, oratory, rhetoric, etc. appeared. No definite resolution has yet been reached. Generally speaking authors, critics, and thinkers have divided among themselves into two groups. The first group defends verse or poetry. The second group defends prose. However there has appeared another third group which takes sides with none of these first two groups and says that a fair middle approach should be taken. It is impossible to deliver a final verdict and decide which one is better or which one is deficient, because prose and poetry are essentially the same where poetry acts as a medium that translates feeling and passion through rhythm and words and prose uses language to impart ideas.
