What does POETIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Belonging to poetry or poets, or having the imaginative, expressive beauty found in good verse.
Poetic works in two broad ways. In a literal sense it describes verse and the people who write it, as in poetic form or poetic metre. In a looser sense it praises anything that feels graceful, moving or vividly imagined, even when no poem is involved, such as a sunset or a well-turned phrase. The phrase poetic justice, meaning an outcome that fits the deeds of those involved, was coined by a seventeenth-century critic.
