The Prose Poem

A prose poem is a piece of writing that combines the qualities of poetry and prose. It appears as regular paragraph text, without line breaks typical of poems, but still employs poetic devices like vivid imagery, rhythm, and emotional expression. Unlike traditional poetry that relies on structured lines and stanzas, a prose poem flows like a story or essay, using language creatively to evoke feelings and images. It offers the freedom of prose with the artistic richness of poetry, allowing writers to explore ideas and emotions in a compact, resonant form.
