Diction Defined
The choice of words, phrases, sentence structures, and figurative language in a literary work; the manner or mode of verbal expression, particularly with regard to clarity and accuracy. The diction of a poem can range from colloquial to formal, from literal to figurative, or from concrete or abstract.
Sidelight: Poetic diction refers to words, phrasing, and figures not usually used in ordinary speech and often utilizes archaisms, neologisms, epithets, kennings, periphrases, connotations, and hyperbaton.
Sidelight: Poets often adapt diction to the form or genre of a poem, for example, elevated for odes, or folksy for ballads.

- Jenice Dickson | Made Her more ambitious about modeling: Janice Dickinson says her TV show has made her more ambitious about modeling. "I will continue my quest to find the next Kate Moss," Dickinson, 53, said last week. "To find that face . . . that's out there somewhere at a football game or at a rock concert. It's just fueled my passion for the industry." ; That passion propels The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, the reality show that starts its fourth season at 10 tonight on Oxygen.
