1 because poetic language are the tools of of sound or meaning that a poet can use to make the poem more surprising, vivid, complex, or interesting. Examples of these tools include alliteration, onomatopoeia, imagery, metaphors and similes, and allusion.

Answer:

1. Heed his slippery words, his wicked ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poetic language tends to use a lot more descriptive words and often doesn't get straight to the point. It uses heavy figure of speech and usually forces you to really think about what it's trying to say.

All of those other choices either came right out and told you what was happening, or it wasn't descriptive.
