Prose, emotive or otherwise is simply a paragraph or more written as you would write an essay. Some chop into short disjointed lines and call it free verse poetry. This in fact is not poetry, but chopped up prose. Poetry has meter, meaning it has a repeated rhythm. It does not have to rhyme, but some prefer it to, others prefer it not rhyme. Rhyming poetry does not fall in free verse, which is where most prose writers tend to try to put the free verse label on. Prose can be converted into free verse, if the rhythm/meter is carried out correctly, and the language is suitable for doing so. That is the biggest difference I know of.
