Certainly Prose Poetry let's the reader find their own way.
Thanks. I had to ask. I guess it explains why poetry is sometimes a performance art. Sometimes the real nature of the poem only becomes apparent when read by someone that knows how. I had a great English teacher one year in high school, he could even read Chaucer so that high school kids (this one anyway) could find enjoyment in the music of it.
