d

by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"

for previous poem in series, click here

d was determined
to do right
he worked by day
and studied by night

he scorned tradition
and all pieties
and drew up plans
for new societies

the path of the world
is never straight
twisted by power
forsaken by fate

no one knows
that d exists
he is out there somewhere
in the mist

from wikipedia: "Feuilleton (French pronunciation: [fœjtɔ̃]; a diminutive of French: feuillet, the leaf of a book) was originally a kind of supplement attached to the political portion of French newspapers, consisting chiefly of non-political news and gossip, literature and art criticism, a chronicle of the latest fashions, and epigrams, charades and other literary trifles. The feuilleton may be described as a "talk of the town",^[1] and a contemporary English-language example of the form is the "Talk of the Town" section of The New Yorker.^[2]

In English newspapers, the term "feuilleton" instead came to refer to an installment of a serial story printed in one part of a newspaper. The genre of the feuilleton in its French sense was eventually included in English newspapers, but was not referred to as a feuilleton.

In contemporary French, feuilleton takes on the definition of "soap opera," specifically ones aired for television."
