Poetic diction
A distinctive term used in poetry to achieve poetic effects such as tone and rhythm. Classical poets in particular preferred to use poetic language that was quite different from everyday language depending on the genre of the poem, but today poetic language is often used to mean a formal and old-fashioned means of expression.
