Homework question..

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.
