Poetic words in the English language do not present a homogenous group: they
include archaic words, such as
whilome(sometimes),
ne (no, not haply (may be),
I ween (I
suppose).
Poetical words in an ordinary environment may have a satirical function. They
colour the utterance with a certain air of loftiness.
In Modern English poetry there’s a strong tendency to use words in strange
combinations.
“A grief ago” (Dylan Thomas)
“he danced his did.” (E.E. Cummings)
