Ask Joyce, he somehow managed to do it and write incredible, poetry-like prose.

Dealing with something perhaps similar, OP. Could you elaborate on your problems?

Two different beasts.

poetry is mainly rhythm

prose, if you're talking about novels, etc, is mostly characters.

so, you change your focus from rhythms to focusing on characters.

Work on your blocking dude. The timing of scenes, how to set them up, when to creep the story foward, how long to stay on a character.
