Language in Poetry and Novels

I am quite thrilled with my explanation of language, form & language devices in poetry and novels.... Thanks Carina and Pete for our study group!

Poetry

 Poetry is like Vodka... it uses language devices, form and meaning in a CONCENTRATED medium. Meaning is achieved in a condensed way.

Novels

Novels are like Light Beer or Cheap Wine...  Language devices, form and meaning are watered down.. Meaning is achieved over 500 pages, rather than a 10 line poem. 

Now compare a shot of each!
