poetizing

Poetizing refers to the act of imbuing everyday language or experiences with poetic qualities. It involves finding and emphasizing the aesthetic, emotional, and evocative aspects of ordinary life, often through figurative language, heightened imagery, or a focus on rhythm and sound. This practice can manifest in various forms, from conscious efforts to speak or write in a more lyrical manner to the spontaneous perception of beauty and meaning in common occurrences.

The term is not strictly defined but generally suggests an approach to language and perception that elevates the mundane. It can be seen as a way of making the familiar new or revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. Poetizing doesn't necessarily require the creation of formal poetry; rather, it is about the mindset and the linguistic choices that lend a poetic sensibility to communication and observation. It can be a personal endeavor, a way of enriching one's own experience, or a shared practice that aims to foster a greater appreciation for the artistic dimensions of life. The intention is often to evoke a sense of wonder, emotion, or deeper understanding through carefully chosen words and perspectives.
