Homework: find a love poem in your language, be prepared to explain it (who wrote it, what is it comparing the other person to, etc.)

poetry: separate lines, often written in verses, the sound is important
prose: more similar to normal speech, written in paragraphs not verses, we don't focus so much on the sounds by themselves

節婦吟 張籍
君知妾有夫，贈妾雙明珠。
感君纏綿意，繫在紅羅襦。
妾家高樓連苑起，良人執戟明光裏。
知君用心如日月，事夫誓擬同生死。
還君明珠雙淚垂，恨不相逢未嫁時！
