How is Free Verse different from Prose

[Todd]

I think poetry is literally music. It has a good sound, regardless of what is contained inside. Some lyrics rhyme, but some don't.

Prose, on the other hand, has no such goal. Prose is newspaper articles, Harry Potter and textbooks in school.

I don't want to sound like I think people who are hung up on this are idiots, but I don't see why this is even a question.

I mean... seriously guys, what part of that don't y'all understand?

I think most of us understand it fine Card. You were in the same thread I was. It is an issue that people do tend to get exposed to and confused by--so, I thought it was worth pulling out of that one thread and bringing over here.

Thanks for contributing.
