Today’s word is “diction” ... style of speaking or writing as dependent upon choice of words. (Dictionary.com)
Lost
Do you remember cursive?
They don’t teach it anymore,
It’s gone the way if fairytales,
And other kinds of lore.
Diction was once proper,
There was right and wrong,
We knew who was moral,
Who was good and strong.
Things are murky now,
We’ve strayed into a strange place,
It seems there’s no redemption,
And certainly no grace.
