poetry often has a formal structure or even a cadence while you are reading it... it is a form of writing where the words are usually chosen more carefully and people are effectively presenting it Prose is normal writing, and includes big novels or autobiographies, but can also just be an essay or a report. Basically it covers anything that is not poetry. Drama is usually a subset of prose, but is written for actors, so it is presented a little bit differently, with the characters identified, the setting explained, and interaction and camera notes (if applicable) included.drama includes feelings. The Greeks, Elizabethans, and others have written verse drama.
