Homework question.. - GoFuckYourself.com

I know this is probly not the best place to ask this but im sure there are some well educated people lurking around this late in the day.

I have to write an essay in (prose) form. I don't know what kind of form this is becides all I know is it's related in poetry. Could someone shed some light on what it is? I have a general idea but not sure of some things like, must the text be centered etc..

Only information I was able to pull on the subject is:

Prose Poems
A Prose Poem is a poem, but in prose form. The attention to language, syntax, and imagery still can be easily identified, with only the lack of line breaks separating it from non-prose poetry. All of the other skills a poet utilizes in writing a traditional poem are utilized in Prose Poems.
A Prose Poem has no specific length, nor are they limited by a certain number of stanzas. But to meet our contest guidelines, all individual entries have to be, at most, 500 words each.

Thanks.

"What's a Prose Poem?

The prose poem is a type of poetry characterized by its lack of line breaks. Although the prose poem resembles a short piece of prose, its allegiance to poetry can be seen in the use of rhythms, figures of speech, rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance (repetition of similar vowel sounds), consonance (repetition of similar consonant sounds), and images. Early poetry (such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, both written by Homer approximately 2,800 years ago) lacked conventional line breaks for the simple fact that these works were not written down for hundreds of years, instead being passed along (and presumably embellished) in the oral tradition. However, once poetry began to be written down, poets began to consider line breaks as another important element to the art. With the exception of slight pauses and inherent rhyme schemes, it is very hard for a listener of poetry to tell where a line actually breaks."
