| Prose Poems, Flash Fiction and Short Stories |
![[ ]](http://images.proboards.com/new/off.png) | Prose Poems Prose poems combine qualities of poetry and prose, reading like free verse, with no line breaks. Prose poems are much shorter than regular prose, usually no longer than a paragraph or two. Characters, dialog, conflict/resolution and elements common to prose, are generally not seen in prose poetry. Please limit your prose poems to 250 words or less. Moderator: Dianne T
