The fact of experiencing a fitting or deserved retribution for one's actions.
Trae Young injured his ankle on a refs leg?! Man, poetic justice!
(verb)
1. to make a phrase or text longer by making it more poetic (hence the name) and verbose.
2. to mention something in a roundabout way, so the real word doesn't have to be said (this could happen for a variety of reasons e.g. socially unacceptable language).
(Example 1.) "I'm not a fan of this kinda food." if you wax poetic, it becomes "I do dislike this taste of cuisine, indeed."
(Example 2.) "Wanna fuck?" becomes "Would you like to come over to my place and hang?"

When you finish a book that's really good and you need a few days to get over it.
I just finished this novel. Made me cry. I'm taking a poetic pause to try and take it all in.

After months of knowingly downplaying COVID-19 and misleading the public as well as engaging in conspiracy theories in relation to the virus and continually mocking individuals, corporations and institutions that were trying to take the situation seriously, Donald Trump contracted said virus.
I always said that one of the greatest cases of poetic justice would be if Donald Trump ended up catching COVID after intentionally creating problems and making wildly inaccurate statements in regards to the virus.

To wax poetic is the act of shitting on the baseboard heater and turning the thermostat up on the day you vacate your apartment.
"Hey bra, ya movin' out today?"
"Yah man, the soup is being a total dick and keeping my deposit, so I'm gonna have to wax poetic."

The opposite of waxing poetic. A sentence that starts off beautifully poetic but goes to rubbish; a poem that by the end is just, sort of, words.
Man, that speech started off so well 'til the speaker started waning poetic

derived from the word ars and combined with the word poetic this expressions is genre in poetry that is also used to describe an ars who is intellegent and well educated. In the rarest of cases the ars poetic might actually be a poet.
This guy was looking at me at the pub all night and I thought he looked like an ars, but when he came and talked to me he totally redeemed himself as an ars poetic!
