Prose poetry

Prose poetry is poetry written in prose instead of using verse but preserving poetic qualities such as heightened imagery and emotional effects. Characteristics Prose poetry can be considered either primarily poetry or prose , or a separate genre altogether. The argument for prose poetry belonging to the genre of poetry emphasizes its heightened attention to language and prominent use of metaphor . On the other hand, prose poetry can be identified primarily as prose for its reliance on prose's association with narrative and on the expectation of an objective presentation of truth .

Stitch by Stitch

Put me together Stitch by stitch, Heal my bruises But leave the scars On my feet, Remind me Of the salty tears Of pain and defeat, Remind me how It was painful to breathe. Patch my soul, Help me grow, Teach me how To stand on my own, Teach me how To drift on this ground, To learn to sow And succeed on my own. Learn to let go regrets and mistakes of yesterday learn to make the best of opportunities in today ™©Mwangi Njoroge,

Ying & Yung

Stay out of my dreams, My solitude and peace. Stay out of my nightmares, My pain and fears. Walk away from my thoughts, Away from my schemes and plots. Stay in the shadows, Cadaver in the secrets of cold. I love these tears, Love these heartbeats Every time my heart breaks, I love the pain trickle in with your memories. We are imperfectly compatible, The smiles and sorrows That nourishes the soul, We are each other’s demons and guardian angels. ™©Mwangi Njoroge.
