A true essay is essentially personal. It is a subjective form of composition like the 'lyric' in poetry. As compared to poetry, essays are easier to read and comprehend. The reason behind this is the language in which both are written. The language of a poem is little vast. Some words and symbols used in poetry are not identical and not easy to understand by a common reader or less educated person. But the language of an essay is quite easy and crispy to understand and identify the message of the content. The similarity between an essay and a poem is that both are written in less amount of words as compared to a novel or a play.

Keywords: Lyric, Novel or a Play, Words and Symbols, Poetry.
