Prose is the standard form of written and spoken language, as opposed to poetry. It is characterized by its natural flow and lack of any specific rhythmic structure.
Here's a breakdown of the differences:
* Prose: Uses natural language, no specific rhythm, doesn't have to rhyme, can be used in a variety of formats (fiction, non-fiction, etc.)
