Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: what is it?

Prose is basically everything that isn't poetry. Novels, articles, essays, etc. Prose has paragraphs.

Now, there is such a thing as "prose poems." These poems use the poetic devises and flow like poems, but they do not look like regular poems. Most poems have line breaks, while prose poems are usually a paragraph.

I hope this didn't confuse you. Just remember that prose is mostly what your textbooks are written in, the articles in magazines and newspapers, and novels (books).

Prose is the ordinary form of spoken or written language, without metrical structure, as distinguished from poetry or verse. It has a greater variety of rhythm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose

google it then go on `wikipedia` theres a whole page explaining the word:)

Prose is like normal talk like in the newspaper and in a harry potter book, like the opposite of poetry/

It sounds like a line from Educating Rita.

Poetry can have rhyme, and it definitely has rhythm.

Prose has neither, it is just as spoken language, or what is in books.
