![]() ![]() Imagine what writing, reading, and speaking would be like if there were only one word for everything! Language would be boring, and would have no room for creativity. ![]() In fact, you could argue that poetry wouldn’t even exist without synonyms-one of the main reasons we use them is to be descriptive, creative, and expressive, and poetry relies on those three things. They have a huge, central role in word choice for both prose and poetry. Synonyms make language more interesting, more meaningful, and more relevant. Since word choice is everything in language (probably the most crucial part!), the importance of synonyms is beyond measure. Words like “rapidly,” “gobbling,” “awful,” and “terrible” are much more descriptive than “quickly,” “eating,” and “bad”-they have the same meanings as Sentence 1, but stronger connotations.
