自由詩(free verse)和散文詩(prose poem)是兩個不同的詩歌類別,二者在形式上有一個最顯著的不同點:自由詩分行,散文詩看起來像散文,而不是像自由詩那樣分行。
According to Wikipedia,“a prose poem appears as prose, reads as poetry, yet lacks line breaks associated with poetry but uses…fragmentation, compression, repetition and rhyme and…poetry symbols, metaphor, and figures of speech. Prose poetry…is essentially a hybrid or fusion of [prose and poetry].”
