The Futures Embrace, Former Knowledge

RE: Re: RE: The Futures Embrace, Former Knowledge

prose

n 1: ordinary writing as distinguished from verse

that's dictionary.com's definition of prose, but it sounds good to me.

It seems like the poem is half-lyrical half-prose. It might have been better to just stick with one. I'll give you an example of what I mean:

Population ever augmenting
Contemporary reports of almost 300 million
Increasing over forty thousand a year
I speculate over-population is near

I realize it's a history assignment(I'm in AP History also, and I had to write some cowboy lament speech), but that's what I think.

it's not prose at all.

there are lines and stanzas. it is poetry.
