Differences between Prose Poetry and Poetry and Prose
The difference between prose poetry and poetry, as well as prose (especially lyric prose). For example, differences in structure, style and rhythm. (1) The difference between prose poetry and lyric poetry. Because lyric poetry should pay attention to the neatness of sentence patterns or general neatness and musical rhythm, even free-form lyric poetry cannot but be restricted in expressing the mind or emotion. It is in order to break through the limitations and write the true state of mind more freely that prose poetry was born. The difference between prose poetry and poetry is that prose poetry often uses the means of description and discussion. Compared with poetry, prose poetry has no rhythm, rhythm, syllables, lines and arrangement, that is, it has no fetters of external forms of poetry. Prose poetry has at least the following forms: prose form, prose poetry staggered form, that is, the whole paragraph of the word "San" and a single sentence (poem) staggered. This is a free form that lyric poetry can't have. (2) Prose poetry and lyric prose are both lyrical, but the unique artistic feature of prose poetry is its "turbulence, fluctuation and shock". It is not difficult to distinguish prose poetry from lyric prose by acknowledging that prose poetry is a style to express the mind or emotion and its fluctuation. Lyric prose is always inseparable from documentary, not to mention those narrative essays that mainly describe real people and things. Prose poems hardly record real people and real things. Even what we call documentary prose poetry is actually an inner impression of real life, but this impression is rarely "deformed"-it rarely reflects real life in an imaginary way. Structurally, some people say that poetry expresses life with "lines", prose reflects life with "faces" and prose poetry reflects life with "points". Prose often has the length of time and space and clues; Prose poetry needs no clues, and its length is short. It is often radiated by the author's emotional ignition point, while the internal emotions form interlocking emotional shock waves, which impulse the reader's heartstrings and enter the realm of poetry. Stylistically, the language of prose poetry is lyrical and imaginative, while the language of prose is narrative and realistic. The language of prose poetry has incomparable flexibility, richness and uncertainty, and its emotional content and aesthetic content are relatively large. Prose is a kind of writing, the language requires conciseness and freedom, but also eloquence, which makes the author's feelings clear, lyrical and more closely related. Prose poetry is poetry, and language needs concentration and jumping. Generally, images are connected by jumping, and the relationship between sentences, especially paragraphs, is often like a broken relationship, leaving readers with more blank beauty to imagine. Therefore, prose poetry is neither prose poetry nor poetic prose, but a style with integrity, particularity and independence.
On the Structure of Prose Poetry
The basic ways of prose poetry structure can be divided into four categories: documentary (direct expression), imagination, philosophy and symbol. 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. The difference between expressing a certain philosophy and other prose poems is that it has rational direct and indirect intervention and is characterized by new philosophical discovery and expression. 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. Liu Bannong, Xu Yunuo, Xu Dishan, Jiao Juyin and Xu Zhimo of Crescent Poetry Society published prose poems during the May 4th Movement. Prose poems by writers such as Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Zhu Ziqing, Bing Xin, Guo Feng and Michelle have a considerable influence on China's new literature. Among them, Lu Xun's prose poetry collection Weeds has the highest ideological and artistic achievements and the greatest influence. The Sea Rock written by Gorky, a former Soviet writer, is also a famous prose poem.
