Prose refers to spoken or written language in its ordinary grammatical form, organized into sentences and continuous paragraphs without deliberate line breaks. Novels, essays, emails, and biographies are written in prose. Poetry refers to literary work composed in lines and stanzas, where line breaks, rhythm, and sound patterns actively influence how the reader interprets each idea. Neither form is superior; they simply organize language for different reading experiences.
