Question

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."

Answer 1

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.
