conversa floreada
Purple prose é querer falar bonito demais, com palavras rebuscadas. Em português, temos o verbo florear para isso.

Prosa afetada
como se trata de uma poesia, creio ser importante pensar na métrica e na rima:
O que tu falas
A prosa afetada delata
Seria a minha sugestão para respeitar o verso de 4 e 8 sílabas desse trecho... e as rimas

estava pensando sobre o "purple prose", creio que "prosa enfeitada"
ficaria melhor...

Purple prose
In literary criticism, purple prose is overly ornate prose text that may disrupt a narrative flow by drawing undesirable attention to its own extravagant style of writing, thereby diminishing the appreciation of the prose overall. Purple prose is characterized by the excessive use of adjectives, adverbs, and metaphors. When it is limited to certain passages, they may be termed purple patches or purple passages, standing out from the rest of the work.
Purple prose is criticized for desaturating the meaning in an author's text by overusing melodramatic and fanciful descriptions. As there is no precise rule or absolute definition of what constitutes purple prose, deciding if a text, passage, or complete work has fallen victim is a somewhat subjective decision.
