Why do poets use poetic devices in their poetry?
Why do they use....

-Imagery?
-Personification?
-Metaphor and Simile?
-Alliteration?
 
That way it sounds more interesting. You don't want to write everyday talk in a poem or even a story for that matter--too boring and common! It's like another dimesion for one who wants to get away from everyday life (of course, depending on what the poem's about).

Did that answer your question...?
