Question

5. What does prose poetry primarily focus on? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

D). Narrative

Explanation:

Prose poetry is classified under the genre of hybrid writing as it is a poetry that is written in the form of prose with keeping the poetic qualities(imagery, symbols, figure or speeches, emotional effects) intact. The key purpose of such a genre is to deliver a specific idea or narrate a story and thus, the key focus is on establishing a 'narrative' that clearly conveys the information to the readers. It is for this reason, the lines are not broken in verse form and presented in a prose manner. Since a prose poem is not as long as a narrative text, it does not have time to introduce the readers to the setting or characters. A Rhyming pattern is not followed as there is no use of verse form despite the use of poetic devices. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
