This was a tough prompt for a Sunday night.
The NaPoWriMo challenge today (and it was a challenge) was to use at least 10 terms from a specialised dictionary.
NaPoWriMo Day 17 – Dictionary
A vatic threnody, fustian longueur,
This is not,
In its place, a philistinic fable,
Filled with hubris.
The modern era, a cacophony
of grotesque bigotry,
No piquant repartee, in the comments
to be had.
