Two good examples of prose poetry, in my humble opinion are 'Slave Moth' by Thylias Moss; and 'Out of the Dust' by Karen Hesse. Reading either of them, would be excellent research. Both are written in free verse, more or less. But, one could employ any poetical formula one chose, I suppose.

Of course, a prose poem doesn't have to be book length. That is up to you, the writer and the story you are trying to tell; and where it goes on its own, once you begin writing it...
