Dumb dukes distort dignified doctrines
Desecrates divinely distinct districts
Daily decimates definite dashing destinies.

You work so diligently to achieve wonders my friend. Congratulations.
Dialysis! With the mus eof life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Dutiful dictation describes Doggerel's despotic days...not the way to write and who wants to know about a despot, I'm feeling a bit dotty...regards
dog·ger·el ˈdôɡərəl/ noun noun: doggerel comic verse composed in irregular rhythm. verse or words that are badly written or expressed. the last stanza deteriorates into doggerel - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - another new word for me. so NOW i see the poem in a different light and don't feel 'so bad' that i didn't completely get it. and [depending on how much of the above definition(s) apply] this explains the inconsistency i mentioned in my second of 3 comments on this poem. bri :)
Dumb dukes distort dignified doctrines Desecrates divinely distinct districts Daily decimates definite dashing destinies. ......... .................................. i would think that with dukes (plural) you should follow with desecrate and decimate not desecrates and decimates. bri :)
You are really taking your time to disect every word of this poem, which is something I really love....the truth is you are really a brilliant mind.the poet's note should take care of other detailed explanations of the poem..thanks for your comment.it will be corrected in my book...you might be interested in my other alliterative poem titled 'phantasmagoria'
With 'd' words, you have played magic! It is interesting to read it! Altogether it has the effect of rumbling thunder! Bravo, friend!
this is a new word to me: de·mot·ic diˈmätik/ adjective adjective: demotic 1. denoting or relating to the kind of language used by ordinary people; popular or colloquial - - - - - - - - - - - - favorite line: Deposing the despot down-towards deep, dark dungeon......... great alliterations WHICH i UNDERSTAND! i also have a poem on PH which is full of alliterations, but the lines do not tell a story; each is a a mini-story or scene. your poem was probably more challenging to write, and [though i don't follow all of it well, especially the part about democracy] i applaud it. just the alliterations made it worth reading, and i'm glad you were willing to use some words which i'll call non-alliterative. if i think of it later, i'll look my mine to send to you. let me now look at the second poem you have sugested to me. thanks for the poet's note. bri :) =================================
Demotic as used in the poem dipicts 'common peoples, average peoples'
Creativity at its peak. I was enchanted by the style of the poem - A kind of narration peppered with witty diction. - Yeah, a meaningful word play.
Democracy, a delusive, demagogic despotic demonstration? Poet's note illustrates us the story behind this word-game. Diction seems to be nice if it does not bore the reader to land its catastrophic or ending line. Here, specially this writing, begins so smart with spontaneous flow of words but gradually it seems to be stretching with a motivation to depict something. And as a reader getting loose the attention of inventing a poet genius.
A super alliterative rendition! Good description of democracy turned democrazy.
Super alliterative rendition, a good tale of democracy in a dementia called demo crazy! Thx Nel for sharing
Poetry at its best. You are an inspiration to my crazy poetic mind.Thank you.
Wow! What a powerful ballistic missile of chosen syllables aptly placed and arranged to pierce through and blast the target in to dust. Genius! Very impressive, indeed.
Amazing write with powerful choice of words that deliver a punch with such force!
you've done a great work with words, Nel, no doubt about.. And this sort of experimental poetry is interesting, but I prefer poems like 'Amazon' and 'Moody'.. that is the 2 poems of yours to be published in the Anthology ebook, with my translation into Italian... Ciao Fabrizio
Looking forward to seeing the poem in your coming work.thanks for giving me a chance.grateful to your comment
A detailed, descriptive dictum dealing decisively with democracy when it becomes diabllical. Well worded my friend. Alliteration proliferation!
I like how you brought dialysis into this as a way of getting the filth out of the political process in light of the distortion and abuse of power the poem describes. Well written and it carries a warning and strong message.
Great poem.. I so much love the setting..
