Diction

Dick! 
Dick! 
Dick! 
How’s that 
for diction
Dick, fuck, 
cunt, shit, 
balls! 
Some words 
have no 
substitutes, 
like teachers, 
but we use them 
anyway. 
Students cringe 
at the word 
poetry – 
they hate 
the sound. 
Maybe if we 
spice it up 
with baby 
at the end. 
Poetry, baby
Because it is 
a party – 
good poetry 
anyway. 
It deserves 
to be 
celebrated
There’s something 
magical 
about words 
that hit right.
Not all words 
do. 
Poetry should 
rage
like a hard dick. 
Diction, baby!
Use it!
