Drama and poetry both use heightened language but have different ways of conveying their messages.
Drama and poetry share similarities in that both rely on heightened language to convey their messages. While drama uses dialogue to convey information and emotion, poetic drama utilizes language in a special, intense way to convey rhythm, structure, and imagery. Additionally, poetry often includes unconventional forms and does not necessarily have to rhyme, but historically, rhyme has been a significant element in poetry.
