Just ask and I'll tell you how to figure it out for yourself

Actually, I think trueenigma started a thread demanding I explain some of those poems...

I believe it was Brownlie with the Q & A on Ghost Dreaming

It can be prose-like and still poetry -- as Chris rightly points out, you just need to have some poetic devices. If it's devoid of both poetic device and structure (not just arbitrary line breaks), then it really ought to be called prose.
