I have a jump rope! Yay!

prose poetry

At Thirteen Blackbirds, I was going to give an assignment where we each wrote a prose poem. But because I'm so poor at the form, I was unable to give a good description of what a prose poem is. So I had to scrap that assignment for a later date.

The prose poem I had in mind as an example is by Carolyn Forche. Someone on choriamb brought it up yesterday, so I didn't even have to search very far for it. It's called "The Colonel." It was hailed as an instant classic.

If you were to describe a prose poem, how would you do so?
