the difference between prose and poetry is that prose is very forgiving and you can hold it at arms length and craft it neatly without the messiness of having to say something real one hundred per cent of the time, while poetry requires immense amounts of skill to not fall into pat and trite sentimentalism AND every moment of writing it will feel like you are literally stripping yourself for the entire world anyway this is why writing prose is the superior path to take in every way
