Prose is the way we write a letter to a friend or to our lawyer. In prose more than any other form of writing the grammar must be correct. If a lawyer write a brief and it is not to the letter he will lose his case.
in this prose you have made a lot of grammatical errors, with capitals and punctuations. re-read it and you will see.
so more or less that is what prose is suppose to be. I just wrote my comment in prose, and a bad job of it at that. Hahaha!
One more thing, in prose you can not take poetic license.

Eddie C.

Eddie is correct. Try to write a letter to me like as if you wanted to read to me something you wrote. Try that for I too do not think this fits the category but I could be wrong too. I give you credit for trying it and practice practice it will come all in good time. Don't sweat the small things for they are all small things. You will get it my friend.. Now write me that letter.. have at it:)

Love at you guy

Prose poetry is what Marie Marshall writes. Look into her work in depth, Stan.

I offer my own version here:.

under the canopy of primordial forest, a wild fern grows nestled
into the less-known path where exigencies take on diffused light
and rainwater trickles its descent, scalloping patterns of colour;
have you ever heard a fern crow with green feathers, sleek against
the sky, as if rocks could sing of joy and the only sin is not being here?

~Anna

My mom used to say as long as two humans are left on earth, there will be an argument.

For me some of the best screenplays (especially from Europe) is *prose poetry*.

If there is dialogue written and spoken that takes one beyond one's place and time, listening, hearing the words, it's poetry, prose, imo, has more meat on its bones. The best of haiku is about having as little as possible that takes one into and beyond the imagination.

I can only offer my apologies for not getting here sooner and take full credit (I mean blame) for inspiring you to try something new and different.

AND

I like it.

I love the concept, the title, and the story. I do, however, feel some edits in order. Mostly ways to smooth the read. Some of the internal rhyme left it a bit choppy in areas, but nothing major. Brevity in prose is a key ingredient.

For example:

"....It would hardly have shocked his senses had he seen,
upon opening closed curtains, that the random raindrop
fell up not down. "

might sound smoother as:

It would hardly have shocked senses to open the blinds and find a random raindrop that fell up instead of down.

Just a thought.

All in all, I think you have done well for a first try and I say more more more.
Thank you for sharing this gem with us all. A real treat! ~Pamela

"Prose" is what most novels and story books are. Dickens wrote prose. So does Larry Niven, Heinlein, Clancey and Grisham.
Good prose is often poetry, though. Jack Vance, the sci-fi author, is a good example of this.

"Prose Poetry" is a form of poetry that is written as prose, that's all. Beyond that, what one person calls prose another calls prose poetry. Tolkein is prose to some, and prose poetry to others. His work is prose poetry to me, particularly the Silmarillion, written as an annal of the previous ages before the Lord Of The Rings.

Your effort here is a very good one, but I would lose the spacing between the stanzas, make all the lines of equal length as much as possible, and indent the first line of each stanza, making it a paragraph instead.
Hope this helps.
