poetize
Write in meter
To poetize is to write poetry or express something in poetic form.
More broadly, it means to make something poetic—to romanticize or idealize: He poetized his humble origins into a heroic struggle.
The word carries a faintly ironic edge, suggesting the transformation may be more literary embellishment than truth.
