Good prose is gramatically correct prose. Past that, it's all extremely subjective and case-dependent, so it's not really possible to answer this straight.

One qualification is prose that leads to the end of the story. In that aspect, I'm disqualified.

You could make a list of what is and isn't. Maybe you could call it prose and cons?

Prose that isn't bad.

Who was the Supreme Court Justice asked to rule on "what is pornography?"

My immediate thought is to consider the average paragraph length, the clarity of each sentence, and the amount of information you're managing to convey in a given reading time.

After that? maybe whether or not the tone matches the genre of the story.
