Kavithai vs. Poetry — What's the Difference?

Kavithai (transl. Poem) is a 2004 Indian Tamil-language romantic action film written and directed by Kicha. It features Vamsi and Chaya Singh in the lead roles.

Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, "making") is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe.
