poetizing
Crafting lyrical lines
Poetizing is the act of writing poetry or expressing something in a poetic manner.
It can also mean making something more poetic than it naturally is, often with a hint of pretension or excessive romanticizing.
He spent the afternoon poetizing about the sunset rather than actually watching it.
The term sometimes carries a faintly dismissive tone, suggesting someone is being overly lyrical or impractical.
