Prose is a class of literature, in the voice of commonplace or
ordinary speech.
Prose may be artful, and employ metaphor, meter, or rhyme by the cartful. However, if it is versified or has a strict structure of meter or rhyme, or if it is read in a stylized fashion, this is a genre
of poetry in the voice of ordinary speech, called prose poetry. Prose
writing is usually adopted for the description of facts, or the discussion of ideas. It describes the writing of the newspaper, encyclopedia, fiction and fact, of screenplays, of philosophy, letters to Dad and appeals to the bank examiner.
