What are the differences and similarities between a poem and a prose?
Prose is from a Latin word [prorsus] which means 'going on straight ahead'. A piece in prose starts, and goes on until it finishes. Verse is from a Latin word [vertere] which means 'to turn a corner'. A piece in verse goes on until it reaches the end of the line, then it 'turns a corner' and starts again (with a new line, and a fresh capital letter). So one should really talk about the difference between Prose and Verse. Poetry is really only a special way of reading a piece of language. In English and many other languages Poetry is usually written in Verse. But not always, English poets who have written in Prose include William Blake, Thomas Traherne, David Jones and William Shakespeare. So the real question should be "What is the difference between Prose and Verse?" - and this is the answer.

Blank verse is unrhymed iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter is a rhythm that goes de-DUM-de-DUM-de-DUM-de-DUM-de-DUM. Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard is in iambic pentameter, but it is not in blank verse, since it rhymes. You can hear the rhythm: "The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea." Same rhythm as Marlowe's "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?" or "The silent night that brings the quiet pause", the first line of Gorboduc, or Shakespeare's "No king of England if not King of France" (Henry V)
