As a rule, I generally think all nomenclature should be footnoted. If a person is not in that field they will not be aware of the usage, especially of such things as the use of sulfur, black to white disinfectant and volcanoes. It is generally considered a courtesy to ones readers so they do not have to waste their time to read your poem. Of course I know it is a simple oversight on your part, only a truly repugnant and arrogant person would think their poetry was of such a high quality that a person should go to such effort as to track down all these obscurities simply to be able to read it

Hi dale,
Yeah, but how the hell do we know what the reader doesn't know? I give readers respect in that I credit them with either the same or greater knowledge than I possess or the inate curiosity to find out whatever a new word means. Obscurities in structure may well involve convoluted thinking but the inability to comprehend specific words is a very personal issue...see mercs response... nonetheless, because it's you.
