Prose poetry is a modern style, which has the characteristics of both poetry and prose. It combines some characteristics of expressive poetry and descriptive prose. Prose poems generally express the author's small feelings on the basis of social and life background, and pay attention to describing the fluctuations and fragments of thoughts and feelings caused by objective life. These characteristics determine the richness of its theme and the brevity and flexibility of its form.
The basic structure of prose poetry is as follows:
1, documentary (direct expression), that is, "meaning is like a table", is relatively exposed. Such as lyrical scenery, lyrical narrative and so on. In other words, the mind feels that the external world is basically primitive, and what is projected on the mind rarely changes. This method is usually used in prose poems that express their feelings directly.
2. Imagination means that when the author of prose poems feels the outside world, he often imagines, from this imagination to that imagination, from concreteness to abstraction. For example, when I write the sunset glow, I think of the rose garden, and then I think of people's twilight years.
3. Expressing a certain philosophy The difference between this prose poem and other prose poems is that it has rational direct and indirect intervention and is characterized by discovering and expressing new philosophies. Writing is to express some philosophy.
4. Symbolism implies poetry through the disjointed coincidence of objects and ideas in a symbol. For example, Mao Dun's Praise of Poplar, Gorky's Haiyan and so on.
