P ~ Pedantic Poetry













Pedantic Poetry~

Reckless, tasteless, crimson past

prints palindromes along the lines of recollection

and insanity.

People prefer pondering particularly poetic, pedantry

when it appears to perform perfectionist piety from

beyond the pundit's podium.

Here are the remains, crusty, crumbled collections of

that which never was considered meaningful

to those whose own voices are heard

high above the choir of angels singing.

    1. Well here's Merriam Webster's version for you (actually it is the second definition of three, but the one that is where the take on this poem came from)

      pedantic: narrowly, stodgily, and often ostentatiously learned (Webster)

      In my own words it is the type of learning that is pretentious, and used for vain attempts to make the learned one look as though they are more important than they truly are. Most often from my mouth the word pedantic would be followed by ba$tard.
