Your persistent in saying the message is clear.. it isnt. its fuzzy. damn it, i told you! im not alone.

And you must work more intensely if you want your poems to be called "didactic" or worthy of being considered something that teaches. I DEMAND ELBOW GREASE!

Teachers are sposed to make things clear, or atleast get the students to think.

I think writing to teach is not easy to do, because we arent talking about science or math with direct facts, etc. We are talking opinion, metaphysics, philosophy, etc, which do not have direct concrete -FACTS-.. a better goal is to make people THINK, and to write poems with a subtle direction considering what the reader will ponder about.

but thats just my opinion.
