I googled this topic all over and i'm still dumbfounded to what this means..

What does PROSE poetry do and how am i supposed to take this:

The pine of Oyodo
Is not inaccessible;
The resentful waves are themselves to blame,
For they come no closer than the beach
And then go back again.


and surround it with PROSE CONTEXT???

I'm assuming prose means making it simplified???
 
thanks, but i'm still dumbfounded on how to write the poem.. i understand it's a free form of writing, but it is still confusing.... any good poets out there?
 
The forest of Oyodo (a town in Japan btw) is accessible because of waves that get farther and farther from the woods?

Just a guess.

Oooh.. so pretty much, you explain the poem???
 
my question is, what the heck am i supposed to do with PROSE??? Does PROSE mean you take the poem and simplify it? i'm reading the definitions of it, but i'm still lost and what i'm supposed to do... all i need is ONE example and i can figure this out..
 
have you tried the CHOOSE function with an INT to set the series integer?


oh wait. sorry wrong thread.

I would guess that a prose poem is one that is written without any form, i.e., meter rhyme, etc....

You read it like you would a book, but expect more convuluted grammar and syntax, and more imagery.

If you worded this correctly:

"how am i supposed to take this: (poem) and surround it with PROSE CONTEXT??? "

Then the proper form is:

prose context . . .

poem

. . . prose context



If you read and understand the definitions of "prose" and "context" this should be very clear.

Something like:

I was in an alley, hiding, but the zombies found me, clambering over each other, snapping and snarling to be first to taste my flesh . . .

crunching through my skull
the yummy brain softer
than cherry blossom

then the zombies shambled away to look for their next victim
