The poetic device that forcefully brings together two seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts is

Answer Details
The poetic device that forcefully brings together two seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts is called conceit. It is used to create a surprising and striking comparison between two things that are not alike, but share some similarities. It helps to create an imaginative and often elaborate analogy or metaphor. For example, in John Donne's poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," he compares two lovers to the legs of a compass, which although separate, are still connected at the center.
