Purple Prose, in literary criticism, is an overly ornate writing that disrupts a narrative flow by drawing unwelcome attention to its own extravagant style of writing. It is characterized by long sentences, multi-syllabic words, excessive emotion, and a plethora of clichés. It's typically melodramatic and often too poetic.
