Esoteric Terms Tend To Blunt a Poem's Objective
I base this theory on research conducted over a 4 decades+ span...
More and more the work of 'academia-nurtured' poets...those who disregard the sense of why their every word
Not be 'unfamiliar'...thereby sparing countless fans from guessing at the meaning of a term that's rarely heard,
Alienates a patron with some esoteric blunder - leaving them uncertain as to what is being said -
Denying both the poet and the reader their objective, regardless if the bard recites the poem or be it read.
