- Diction .
- A large part of finding the right words is in choosing diction. Diction is the range of vocabulary used in writing. You can talk about Shakespearean diction or Miltonian diction (the diction used by Shakespeare and Milton), and you can think about diction on a smaller scale, such as the use of a narrator with their own distinct voice that may not be the same as the voice of the poet. In this part of the Beginner's Guide to Writing Poetry, we'll explore some ideas about diction -- is there a special language for poetry, or do we each need to find our own sets of words? .
- " This poetic diction was characterized by some combination of the following: fanciful epithets (the finny tribe to mean "fish"), stock adjectives (balmy breezes), classical references (referring to Greek and Roman myth), ornate usage, complex figures of speech, unusual or complex word order, sentimentality, and archaism (choosing archaic over contemporary words -- such as thine instead of "your"). ...
- Not long after poetic diction was in fashion, though, other poets began to argue against it, saying that poetry should be written in a language accessible to all. ...
- Which isn't to say you can't develop your own style, your own diction. ...
- The same idea can be used in finding the diction, the kind of vocabulary, to use in your poetry. If you have a tendency towards poetic diction, try deliberately writing in a way that is as close to your own speaking voice as you can get. ...
- One way to describe this is as Skelton does: "The art of finding appropriate diction is the art of adjusting the implied personality of the speaker to the nature of his vision, or vice versa. ...
- There are other ways you can use diction to add to or modify the implications of your poetry. ...
