Diction is important because it allows writers to create a certain mood, tone, or atmosphere they want for their readers.

In literature, writers choose words to create and convey a typical mood, tone, and atmosphere to their readers. ... Moreover, poetry is known for its unique diction that separates it from prose. Usually, a poetic diction is marked by the use of figures of speech, rhyming words etc.
