Poetic Language and Poetry

I think that poetic language is language in terms of words that is express with characteric meaning. For example some may say that Shakespear uses illambic pentaminter(which is a form of poetic language)in his books. In this style of writting there seems to be a rythm that goes on in the readers head while he or she is reading the book. Now with poetry, people have different opions on whether the words should be ryming or not. The difference between poetic language and poetry, is that poetry becomes suthing to your ears when spoken out laud and poetic language has to do with understanding the author's meaning through the poem. With poetic language one may want to brake down each frase of line to understand what the author might mean.
