Prose is language that is like someone talking, rather than in a certain limited form (like poetic forms). Prose is what you read when you are reading a book or the newspaper, and it is the type of language you use when you are talking to someone normally.

Non prose is anything that does not fit into that natural-speech pattern. So, a poem that rhymes in a specific rhyme scheme, or follows a specific form. Songs are usually not prose, because they have a certain structure and a refrain. They are musical poems, rather than musical speech. Non prose could also be a graph or a chart, or anything with highly structured language that doesn't flow like normal speech.
