Poetry is written in stanzas unlike prose and drama which are written in chapters...
It's has rhythmic pattern and syllables...
poetry doesn't obey rules of language...those poets can twist the hell out of a language just to achieve their purpose...
And the diction in some poems are difficult to understand unlike other genres which are plain and straightforward...

erm...

(a) Poetry is rhythmic
In Thinking and Destiny , Harold W. Percivaldefined rhythm as the character and meaning of thought expressed through the measure or movement in sound or form, or by written signs or words Percival 1946,

rhythm is fundamental to poetry, it cannot be dismissed with some simple formula such as “Rhythm is hypnotic and produces hyperæsthesia” or “Metrical patterns express social norms.” The significance of rhythm ishistoricaland at any given time depends upon the unfolding of society’s basic contradiction in language.

B. Poetry is composed of words
we can say poetry is written with words in a way the novel is not, without meaning that a special magic inheres in the sound-symbol or black mark that objectively is the word. In fact the word stimulates in addition to the idea an affective “glow,” of such a character that it cannot be carried over by translation.
Indeed " A poem is the very image of life expressed in its external truth.”.
C. Poetry is non-symbolic
What do we mean when we say words are symbolic, that is, symbols and nothing else? We mean that the words themselves are nothing, we are not interested in them, but in what they refer to. [1]Thus when a mathematician writeseight plus nine equals seventeen, he is not interested in the words themselves, but in the ordering of certain generalised classes encountered in empirical reality.
Poetry is clotted social history, the emotional sweat of man’s struggle with Nature.
Poetry is concrete.
But poetry is like scientific argument, it is “impure.” Its emotions are attached to real objects and this gives them a cert
But poetry is like scientific argument, it is “impure.” Its emotions are attached to real objects and this gives them a certain peculiarity. Reality hovers in the ego’s vision. This means that poetry is concrete and particularised, just as scientific argument is concrete and particularised, although of course in each case the concretion and generality refers to different spheres of reality.

d. Poetry is characterised by condensed effects

These effects are the effects proper to it, that is to say, aesthetic effects. A telegram, “Your wife died yesterday,” may impart extraordinarily condensed effects to the reader of it, but these are not of course aesthetic effects. Here the language is used symbolically.

Poetry is sweet
I will explain dis @ Missmossy's crib

All dis makes poetry different from drama and Erm

Lollz okay naa

Its on the characteristics of Poetry

Missmossy:

Lollz okay naa

Its on the characteristics of Poetry

That question is too hard wo
Ayamlaykorn

MissMossy. My Answer. I wrote this some time back. I hope it is accepted.

Q: What are the characteristics of poetry?

A: Poetry is vital language. Poetry relies on the writer's feelings, history and perceptions, so every person has the background needed to write poems. Because poetry draws on the senses and the senses give deep access to memories and feelings, poetry writing is relevant and interesting.

Poetry is ancient. The most primitive peoples have
used it, and the most civilized have cultivated it. In all
ages and in all countries, poetry has been written
and eagerly read or listened to by all kinds and
conditions of people by statesmen, lawyers,
farmers, doctors, scientists, clergymen,
philosophers, soldiers, kings and queens.

In all ages, poetry has been regarded as important,
not simply for pleasure, but as something central to
each individual's existence, something of unique value, and something which makes us feel better off for having and which we are spiritually impoverished without.

Initially, poetry might be defined as a language that says more and says it more intensely than does ordinary language. In order to understand this fully, we need to understand what it is that poetry says.

Poetic language is employed on different occasions to say quite different kinds of things. Therefore, poetry is language of different uses. While novels, short stories and plays bring us a sense and a perception of life, their concern is with experience.

The poet may create new experiences for the reader
in which the reader can participate and which will give him or her a greater awareness and understanding of the world.

Poetry is the literary vehicle which is not only an aid to living but a means of living. For example, an encyclopedia can offer information on elephants. You can discover where they live, what they eat and how they breed. This information is only for practical purposes only. You can grasp the ivory of the elephant, but not its soul. The encyclopedia will not touch on its majesty, wild grandeur, strength or power. The poem can turn the elephant from a museum specimen into the highest concrete visual image that comes alive in the mind of the reader. For the living elephant, we must turn to poetry.

Poetry takes all life as its province. Its primary concern is not with beauty, not with philosophical truth, not with persuasion, but with experience.

Beauty and philosophical truth are aspects of experience, and the poet is often engaged with them.
Poetry as a whole is concerned with all kinds of experience beautiful & ugly, strange & common, noble & ignoble, actual & imaginary.

One of the paradoxes of human existence is that all
experience, when transmitted through the medium
of art, becomes enjoyable. Even painful experience is pleasurable when poetry romanticizes hard labour, poverty and even death.

Poetry comes to us bringing life, and focuses on giving us a better understanding of life. Between poetry and other genres of literature there is one sharp distinction. Poetry writing is a friend to all writers. Engrossing and honest, poetry extends universally to all members of society. Poetry exists to communicate significant experience imaginatively and creatively, deepening our knowledge of the senses more poignantly.

Poetry can be inspirational on the highest level, when it provides the reader with a precious affair, frequently incandescent, giving off both light and heat. Finally, poetry is a kind of multi-dimensional language. It is directed at the whole person, not just at his understanding. It must involve the reader's senses, intelligence, emotions and imagination.

Poetry achieves its extra dimensions per word by employing devices including metaphor, allusion, sound, repetition, rhythm, irony, symbol, connotation and imagery. Using these resources and the materials of life, poetry, in its highest form, comes alive on the page.
