A poetic contraction is a shortening of a word by omitting letters or sounds from the middle of the word and replacing the omission(s) with an apostrophe. I find this used often in poetry and music lyrics: ne'er (never), heav'n (heaven), e'en (even), e'er (ever). A poetic contraction is called syncope(SIN-ka-pee).
