poeticize
Render in verse
Poeticize means to make something poetic or treat it in a poetic manner—to render in verse, describe lyrically, or invest with romantic or idealized qualities.
Writers poeticize landscapes, emotions, or ordinary experiences: She poeticized her childhood summers in the country.
The word often carries a faint suggestion of embellishment or sentimentality: He tends to poeticize the past.
