Diction refers to the choice of words. Literature depends heavily on how effectively words are used and in what context. Diction thus is an extremely important aspect of poetry.
Since no specific poem has been mentioned, let us focus on 'The bangle sellers' by Sarojini Naidu. The poem uses bangles as a medium to take us through the phases in the life of a woman.
Accordingly, the diction is very age related. Words like 'daughters', ' wives', 'maiden' and 'bride' indicate the marital status and at times even the approximate age of the women.
Similarly, light related diction shows the energy levels of life. Such words include 'sunlit', 'rainbow-tinted', 'luminous' and 'silver and blue'.
Diction thus adds depth to the characters as well as the meaning of the poem.
