Is this an example of poetry or prose? The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings."
I believe this would be considered Poetry, since it has a rhyme scheme. ‘Prose’ is just everyday language, like any basic novel you could pick up. Hope this helps.
