Poetry and Prose
Pravat Kumar Mandal
Poetry written in prose
Glamorous with glum greed.
Its smell like a dry rose
Demands with a queer creed.
Prose is born from the head
Poetry from the heart.
Both grand and dignified
In the creative art.
Prose provides sense and tense
Poetry shines feelings,
No logical maintenance
Just impulsive ailing.
Prose comprehensible
Poetry readable.
The first one sensible
The last unknowable.
Poetry in prose attractive
But so-called prose-poetry
Into heart dull and passive
And forces a sick entry.

I would like to translate this poem
And never the twain shall, Meet, Personalities so different And quite incompatible. An excellent poem, very well written, that I believe so well illustrates their differences
