Poetic characteristics and charm of prose poems

Prose poetry, as its name implies, is a combination of prose and poetry. It was born after the romantic literary movement in Europe in the middle of19th century. The first person to use the term "prose poem" was19th century French poet Baudelaire. As soon as prose poems appeared, they expressed their inner thoughts and feelings in a delicate and lyrical artistic way, and were loved by people. Among them, many young people are the most enthusiastic, and they gradually developed the literary form of prose poetry with their passion and tenderness.

Prose poetry is good at expressing emotions, and has both the attributes of prose and poetry. But no matter from the source or the future development, prose poetry pays more attention to poetry. Its essence belongs to the rich extension in the development of poetry and is a variant of poetry. It doesn't need to be written with lines like poetry, and it is smaller than prose, but it has both realism and lyricism of prose, as well as the leap, musicality and infinite tension of poetry. It has the function of integrating and complementing poetry and prose.

Prose poetry is easy to start with, but difficult to write well. Nowadays, many prose poems are written in pursuit of lyricism, lyricism in form, and even moaning without illness. The realism and connotation of prose poetry are not in place. I mentioned this in an essay poem recommended by our forum. However, in order to highlight the connotation, pursue the so-called tension, rigid suggestion, deliberate sublimation and elevation, and lose the randomness of prose poetry, both of which are not desirable. Compared with prose and poetry, the creation of prose poetry can combine them perfectly, and writing prose poetry well requires profound skill.

Prose poems focus on the small and the big, concentrate the things to be described and the emotions to be expressed in a limited space, and describe the important details in depth, making the works concise and exquisite but more infectious and ideological.

First of all, we should temper the language of prose poetry. The language of prose poetry, like poetry, must be highly concise and must not be delayed, otherwise it will lose the beauty of meaning and music. This point, especially for beginners, is always afraid that the expression is unclear and others can't understand it. As a result, their own works come naturally and make others read uninteresting.
