Dear Rolf,
I'm actually convinced that the verbal forms in Hebrew are not _principially_
different
between prose and poetry but that there are certain forms which have special
meaning
in specific contexts.
Similarly you can find e.g. perfect "tense" in conditional sentences in
Arabic:
it doesn't denote the past tense (which is the usual meaning of this form)
but does have a specialized function here which "overrides" the usual one.
Best regards,
Petr Tomasek
