What makes poetry special, if it is special? That is, how is it different from other forms of language such as everyday speech, fiction, nonfiction in print, the dialogue in a play, or the wording used in advertisements? Is the language in one genre of poetry more like that of another genre or more like language that you find outside of poetry? Think about one or more ways people use language, and compare it to the language you find in poetry. Discuss why language seems to take different forms, or why it makes sense to categorize it by form, situation, medium, purpose, and audience, for example.

Here's my take on your question:Poetry is different than other types of literary writing because it uses figurative language and rhymes, these specific elements leave readers wanting more content from the poet because its diverse and pleasing.Fog by Carl Sandburg is an example of how diverse poetry is because it uses expressive language and explains how the fog was appearing on the city in a creative way, Sandburg says the fog moves on cat feet, he used personification to apply personification in his writing.
