Being a savage; could you provide an example and define "crass language" and "graceful slang"

The savages we are,
Landing par
For the course, setting bars

Sorry folks, the powers that be like to silence me.
Yes, David, crass as in distasteful or in a mocking fashion.
There is nothing wrong with savagery in poetry, you can be as mean as you'd like, but cut them down with INTELLECT, not with PETTY remarks.

But subtle rain who soaks the fertile wastes and rise,
New buds and western skies,
With chance to taste the Celtic sage, your heathered prize.  




You are not following the guidelines, redo your work. See snugglebuck, he is excellent at his craft.
