Poetry is actually condensed thought, which also means, when compared to prose, there will have to be economization of words in poetry. Without economization of words, poetry will more tend to be prose. In other words, poetry can be elaborated into prose and prose condensed into poetry, in the hands of experienced and talented writers.

TaigaWhen writing -- whether poetry, prose or speeches -- economy of words means the use of fewer but more descriptive words wherever possible.
This can be achieved by using strong (descriptive) nouns and verbs, rather than having to add adjectives and adverbs to flesh out or explain weaker ones. As an example, saying 'ran' instead of 'moved fast', or 'dirge' instead of 'sad song'.
Two hundred years ago, poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge said that good prose is words in their best order; good poetry is the best words in the best order. That's still the case today.
