Prose Poetry

The video tutorial explains prose poetry, a hybrid of poetry and prose. It begins by defining prose poetry and its lack of rhythmic structure. The tutorial then explores poetry's rhythmic and literary elements, using Shakespeare's 'Sonnet 18' as an example. It contrasts this with prose, which is narrative and lacks meter. Prose poetry combines elements of both, featuring poetic devices like metaphor and simile within a prose-like structure. The tutorial analyzes Charles Baudelaire's 'The Desire to Paint' to illustrate these concepts, highlighting the use of simile, metaphor, and vivid imagery. The conclusion emphasizes the unique nature of prose poetry, which appears as prose but contains poetic elements.
