Literary or poetic words

Writer: Monika Zieba-P.Monika Zieba-P.

A certain class of words is mainly found in old-fashioned English or poetry. However, it is worth paying attention to them because they are still used in jokes and ironic language.


You might hear, ‘You’ve been imbibing’ (drinking) or ‘He’s my deadly foe’ (enemy).


Here is a short list.


toil work


behold see


swift fast


demise death


attire clothes


tidings news


fare food


peruse read


scribe writer


hale healthy


betwixt between


penurious poor


slumber sleep


thoroughfare street


converse talk
