: Re: How to get more powerfull on expensive words? How to learn the powerful words, that usually gets the attention of readers first?

Your question indicates that you are a long way away. Poetry, the poetic, is not about power words (they are for sales and speeches). A lot of classical poetry is about the ambiguity and latitude of language.

"He kissed me in such a pretty way."

No power words here but can you see that a normally visual attribute has be a feeling.

"I wandered lonely as a cloud."

Again, nice words but almost nonsensical, certainly not powerful. Clouds do not wander. Their direction is dictated by the wind. Clouds are rarely lonely. You rarely see a single cloud.

Poetry is about breadth of language, not power.
