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 following are the characteristics of the prose poems I have compiled. Welcome to reading.
First, the definition of prose poetry
Prose poetry is a modern lyric literary genre with both poetic and prose characteristics. It combines some characteristics of expressive poetry and descriptive prose. In essence, it belongs to poetry, with poetic feelings and fantasies, giving readers aesthetic feeling and imagination; In content, the poetic prose details are retained; Formally, it has the appearance of prose, unlike poetry, which is divided and rhymed, but there is no lack of internal phonological beauty and rhythm. 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. [1] Prose poetry is a modern style, which was developed to adapt to the psychological characteristics of people in modern and contemporary society, such as sensitivity, thoughtfulness, complexity and meticulousness.
Second, the characteristics of prose poetry
Prose poetry is a new style produced by the mutual infiltration and intersection of poetry and prose. If prose poetry is a variant of prose and poetry, there is no doubt about it. Prose poetry has the amphibious characteristics of poetry and prose. Prose poetry not only absorbs the function of poetry to express subjective mind and emotion, but also absorbs the function of prose to express things freely and casually, so that they are integrated and form their own uniqueness. It can be said that it is difficult to create prose poems if you are not familiar with poetry and prose. But is prose poetry a new style, or is it "prose poetry" and "poetic prose" as some people say? The key depends on whether prose poetry has unique artistic characteristics, or what are the artistic characteristics that distinguish prose poetry from poetry and lyric prose.
Prose poetry is a kind of style to express the soul or subjective emotion, which has its own unique way of looking at life, that is, to express the soul or emotion and its fluctuation in a relatively free form. Generally speaking, prose poetry is a style to express personal thoughts or subjective feelings.
Baudelaire is one of the original creators of prose poetry. He once said: "When our human ambitions grow, who hasn't dreamed of the mystery of prose poetry-the harmony in the rhythm without rhythm, the ups and downs of thoughtful and incisive words, enough to cope with the ups and downs of mood, the ups and downs of thoughts and the changes in the perception of the soul." . He also said: the form of prose poetry "is enough to adapt to the lyrical turmoil of the soul, the fluctuation of dreams and the shock of consciousness." Turbulence, ups and downs and shock are the main artistic features of prose poetry.
Third, the difference between prose poetry and poetry, and prose, especially lyric prose.
1 The difference between prose poems and lyrics
Lyrics should pay attention to the regularity of sentence patterns or general regularity and musical rhythm, so even free-form lyrics cannot but be restricted in expressing thoughts or emotions. 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: the form of prose, the form of prose and poetry interlaced, that is, the whole paragraph of prose and single sentence interlaced. This is a free form that lyric poetry can't have.
Prose poetry and lyric prose are both lyrical.
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.
1 Structurally, some people say that poetry uses "lines" to express life, prose uses "faces" to reflect life, and prose poems use "points" to reflect life. 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, and 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.
Prose poetry is a kind of poetry different from prose.
Prose poetry is a new fruit of grafting prose and poetry. There are "marginal disciplines" in the field of science, which are related to both this discipline and that discipline; But it is what it is, that is, it does not belong to this discipline or that discipline. Prose poetry is prose poetry, not a combination of prose and poetry. It not only has the characteristics of prose, but also differs from prose. It has the essence of poetry, which is different from other kinds of poetry.
Prose poetry is not prose, so it cannot be regarded as poetic prose.
First of all, prose poems praise life, not describe life. Prose poems are mostly woven by associations.
Secondly, prose poems are generally short and pithy. There is always a phenomenon in prose and prose poetry with the same theme: the former is often long because it is not necessary to create a complete character, but it is not necessary to tell a story in detail; The latter focuses on lyricism, and the materials cut with lyric scissors are often shorter or even shorter.
Third, the language of prose often needs a strong sense of color, and prose poetry requires more than that. Prose poetry not only requires the use of fine words to obtain macro settings, but also has the rhythm of poetry, which makes poetry have unique linguistic beauty.
To sum up, there are great differences between prose poetry and prose in content, length and language.
Prose poetry is a variant of poetry, which has the characteristics of being an independent variant, which is related to prose.
Prose poetry is a poem that looks like prose, a poem in prose form, a poem that gets rid of some formal constraints of poetry and retains the essence of poetry.
Prose poetry is not as strict as other kinds of poetry in music and arrangement. Language has a natural rhythm, but there is no regular rhythm; Generally, there is a tendency to miss non-verse.
Prose poems are not arranged in rows, but are naturally spelled paragraph by paragraph. The elegant beauty and sparse beauty of free rolling belong to the poetic beauty of prose poems.
