incorporating poetic play in academic writing (2017)

Modern Greek Isotimia

I insist. I make it plain.
I am not here to complain.

Neither am I here in ire
a Modern Greek defense to try.

In my vocation instead I aspire
to test my work in scholarship’s pyre.

Τουτέστιν, in this conference
I yearn to earn
distinction in diction,
a reference, to impress!
