Putting words to Poetry and Prose

Poet, T. E. Hulme in his piece, "On the Differences between Poetry and Prose", points out the major difference between poetry and prose. He states that prose is a more concrete type of writing and less visual. However, he describes poetry as "visual concrete" form of writing. In his ending lines, he uses a metaphors to describe prose and poetry. He states that poetry "is a pedestrian taking you over the ground"; however, prose is " a train which delivers you at a destination."

What I think he meant in those lines was that poety is more of an  artist. Poetry helps you paint a picture in your head easier than prose would. Poetry does so through smilies, metaphors, personifications, and etc. Prose, on the other hand, goes straight to the point. It does not extend to give description like poetry does.  For example, in the piece says that describing a ship "coursed the seas" paints a better picture than the ship "sailed". In my opinion, Hulme was a bit bias. He didn't make prose seem horrible but boring. However, he did speak about poetry with admiration. I suppose it is because he is a poet himself.
