'there's nothing poetic' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'tangled ropes' is the wordplay.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prose that I've seen before include "Writings not in verse" , "Gossipy talker" , "Non-verse" , "Text" , "Ordinary writing" .)
