Didactic (tanka)
I’ve chosen my world
But hear your constant preaching
exhorting with snarls
In your didactic speaking
The dogma of oppression

Desmond,
This is excellent with the opening line as a declaration that despite all you have chosen your path. This takes courage in a world where others try to buy your mind with their beliefs or put you down.
A good poem, well said

You are right there David. I think we all think we know best at sometime or other. It’s just that some people are so bombastic about it and don’t respect others thoughts and beliefs.

Hi Rachel, it is a great word and I am looking forward to reading your poem. Love the phrase, “appropriate derision” good luck.

What a great word--I must find a place to use it with appropriate derision...
