One of the first interchanging Poetry poems written was about Breast Cancer. I had written several pieces related to the subject but I never expressed how I personally felt or the impact of Cancer on my life. The following is a sample of my first attempt: An Interchanging Poetry Perspective Of Breast Cancer Most people either know someone or know of someone who has suffered from Breast Cancer. Within my family, in the Navy, and in my business career, I have known several courageous women diagnosed with this horrific disease. All made the decision to undergo a surgical procedure from lymph node dissection to a mastectomy. Thankfully, all are survivors over 5 years; the longest post-surgery is 40 years, which speaks volumes for advances in treatment. The Scar is a poem about meeting someone, falling in love, marrying, being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and seeing cancer not as an end, but as a new beginning. I write poetry about Breast Cancer from my perspective as a male and my belief most men respond in a like manner. The Long Ride is a reflection of The Scar from a different perspective and Walk With Me is a poem of love and a journey to understanding, and rounding out this series of poems is my personal favorite Love Remains True. The Scar When first we met, I marveled at your flawless flesh; nary a wrinkle or blemish did offset. Until cancer took your breast, leaving a scar, obvious as a mountain range upon your once flawless flesh. The scar a reminder of what had been and a symbol, not of an end, but a new beginning of life again. The Long Ride It is not outward appearance whereby love does survive it is inner beauty takes love for the long ride You can see how poetry has been Interchanged to clarify the meaning of the narrative, informing the reader why these poems are important. No longer does the reader need question the meaning of the poem, it is understood. This is a partial sample of the original title "An Interchanging Poetry Perspective Of Breast Cancer.

Example

I glanced out the window, and my eyes beholdst a wondrous view. Bold mountains stood on either side of me, sparkling white in the blazing winter sun. Trees, vivid verde, crept up the edges, only to be met with a wave of snow. As I look upon this wonder, I begin to ponder, If the clouds over yonder, were as white as the sun was bright. In the distance, on the lower mountains, were cascades of brilliant aqua, splashing down in a misty gorge. Birds, black and white, glided through this mist effortlessly, bathing whilst airborne.

Prose is writing distinguished from poetry by its greater variety of rhythm and its closer resemblance to the patterns of everyday speech. The word prose comes from the Latin prosa, meaning straightforward. This describes the type of writing that prose embodies, unadorned with obvious stylistic devices. Prose writing is usually adopted for the description of facts or the discussion of ideas. Thus, it may be used for newspapers, magazines, novels, encyclopedias, screenplays, films, philosophy, letters, essays, history, biography and many other forms of media.

Prose poetry is usually considered a form of poetry written in prose that breaks some of the normal rules associated with prose discourse, for heightened imagery or emotional effect, among other purposes. Arguments continue about whether prose poetry is actually a form of poetry or a form of prose (or a separate genre altogether). Like poetry (intense, sculpted) but without line breaks.

The Port
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Port is a delightful place of rest for a soul weary of life's battles. The vastness of the sky, the mobile architecture of the clouds, the changing coloration of the sea, the twinkling of the lights, are a prism marvellously fit to amuse the eyes without ever tiring them. The slender shapes of the ships with their complicated rigging, to which the surge lends harmonious oscillations, serve to sustain within the soul the taste for rhythm and beauty. Also, and above all, for the man who of mysterious and aristocratic pleasure in contemplating, while lying on the belvedere or resting his elbows on the jetty-head, all these movements of men who are leaving and men who are returning, of those who still have the strength to will, the desire to travel or to enrich themselves.
