How to use poetical in a sentence?

1. Ricardo A Scott:

   trench town is my water hole from which I shall drink of africa to quench my thirst- ricardo scott poetical works

2. Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay:

   Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilized people is poetical.
