Answer 2

No the difference between a prose and a poem is that a prose is more like a short story and doesn't really require that it have some form or structure.

It just tells a story basically.

And is why Egdar Allen Poe had both in some of his book's.

Answer 3

it must have a rythym, otherwise its just a paragraph. and write it like its a poem, not one big block of text, it helps your brain remember to write poetically not like an essay. you can go back and reformat it later if need be!

Answer 4

A prose poem can use most of the structuring devices a verse poem would.

Blake's prose poems (The Book of Thel is one) use a narrative structure very similar to what you would expect in a short story or a narrative poem.

Rimbaud's prose poems on the other hand use a more lyric approach (they make emotional sense, not narrative sense).

There is no special touch that makes something a prose poem - as opposed to a regular piece of prose. Calling a work a prose poem just means that the critic feels you should pay special attention to the language used. (In regular prose what is said is all that matters: in poetry how it is said is just as important).

There are even works where the best critics are undecided whether the piece is a prose poem or just extremely well constructed prose. James Joyce' Ulysses and Hermann Broch's 'Death of Vergil' would be only two examples.
