According to [Poetry Foundation](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/education/glossary/prose-poem), a prose poem is … > a prose composition that, while not broken into verse lines, demonstrates other traits such as [symbols](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/glossary-term.html?term=Symbol), [metaphors](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/glossary-term.html?term=Metaphor), and other [figures of speech](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/glossary-terms/detail/figure-of-speech) common to poetry. See Amy Lowell’s [“Bath,”](http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=171732)[“Metals Metals”](http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=182349) by Russell Edson, [“Information”](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43416/information-56d222285400c) by David Ignatow, and Harryette Mullen’s [“[Kills bugs dead.]”](http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=182300) See also this lovely example, [“First Lesson” by Kris Paige](https://krispaige.com/first-lesson/), that I found while randomly cycling through [Kagi Small Web](https://kagi.com/smallweb).
