I'm not happy about the proseward drift, either, though.

Courage, mes enfants! And whinge ye not. If a non-poet like me can occasionally win with verse, poets should be able to compete successfully writing prose. I do, however, like the expression 'proseward'. It reminded me of Wodehouse's writing of one of those sticky situations that regularly visit BW that 'the fly was moving ointmentward'.
