Prosebite

I invented one type of writing in the form of a prose and a poem combined. Very similar to the Japanese version of a Haibun, only that in this type of writing I need not to set a standard of making the poem appear or sound only as haiku. One to three lines or even up to ten lines in a stanza (rhymed or unrhymed) as a poem, before or after the prose (flash story or anecdote of your interest) will do. Any form of poetry can be combined or added in or within the prose itself. I call it "Prosebite". The prose need not to be too short nor too long, so long as the readers can comprehend the kernel or message of the prosebite. A bite of any form of poetry and a chunk of writing in prose. A combination of two or three (or even four) different forms of poetry can also be considered as prosebite. It is your way of expressing yourself. Your perspective matters. Prosebite is what you write In form of a poem piece anywhere. With a prose somewhere, With or without too many rhymes to kite. No numbering or syllabication in lines No stricter rules to follow between the lines. Structure is what you do in a prosebite. Create and innovate your own bite. Hailed haiku and haibun, we conformed The way structures were formed. We followed standards and rules as known But somehow we can create our own. (Prosebite)
