I attempted a similar sort of work a while back and it did not come out like this. You have done an excellent job with this POV, Foehn.

Original and Intelligent

Love the free verse. I always have said that it takes a poet who knows his or her stuff metrically and otherwise to create scintillating free verse.

Smile and silence!

Funny Ironic and pained at the same time I could add more but I am afraid it will get me into the same trap this poem might be pointing to. I'll just smile and be silent (for a change).

Synecdoches and other academic creatures...

I think I had a head ache last year...frankly I can't remember... but can't a person revisit a poem and say more? Of course he can. This is hilarious! What a parody of students being under the oppressive rule of the all knowing professors…

I especially remember the dreaded "synecdoche"... the technical term for this type of metaphor sounded so funny, it was spontaneously adopted as a serious bad name: "you synecdoche, you promised to take the book for me from the library, I knew I could not trust you!"

Loved it. I think I had that same teacher, at least a couple of times.
