What is the reason for ambiguity in verse?

     Prose affords to explain the subject while verse attempts to compress it. For instance: Having a tree as the subject, while prose sort of holds a tree literally and speaks about it, verse points at it from remoteness. This pointing out towards a direction cannot be as clear as holding something and talking about it. Some prose pieces may contain some amount of ambiguity which may be because of the subject matter which is so complex that that could be the closest possible way of beholding it as a subject, or harshly, it can be said that the writer has not perfected his writing or more harshly, he is not yet up to the mark. Verse tries to take a stand away from the subject in order to describe it from a wider angle making it different and appealing. And derived beauty is presumably grander than apparent beauty. Anything easily obtained is less regarded. Even if this is not the idea, the techniques applied in writing in verse is startling when the idea is delivered along with having a worked upon language as an addition to its beauty. When the writer is successful in accomplishing the delivery of idea as well as finding a fitting form to present it, the reader marvels at it because when a reader reads something, he or she first tries to get the idea intended to be delivered through the write up and once he perceives it, his mind discovers the form of presentation and gets amused when he finds something amazing as an addition to the idea which should convince the reader at the first requirement.
