Poetry and Poetic Language

Poetry is a form of literature; an arrangment and selection of certain words used to create a particular meaning and/or effect. While there is not a definite structure for poetry, the forms in which it takes are usually in a ryhming scheme or pattern.
Poetic Language, on the other hand, is the use of words to evoke feelings and convey a meaning through a wide range of words. Poetic Language can be used in poems but is definitely not restricted to just that; it can also be used in letters, novels, speeches and essays.
