what is the difference between poetry and prose? why do poets use figurative language in their writing? can you create an example of personification and a simile for me?

In essence, both are very much the same.  That said, most would say that prose is more straightforward information without much decoration (description or  use of figurative language).  Poets use figurative language in their writing to make it more interesting or colorful or entertaining.  A simile is comparing two things using like or as.  For example, the penny was a shiny as a new pair of shoes.  Personification is giving human characteristics to something non-human.  For example, the door hinges screeched telling us they needed oil.

the eye wink at the hand; yet let that be / which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
