I am
a period. When you see me it means
a full stop. A break for
the reader.
The end of the sentence.
I end your story. Sometimes not soon
enough.
Sometimes I am not found for
long stretches of time. I am hiding it seems.
Good sentence structure
brings me acceptable in the world.
I like that.
When I am used correctly. Oops.
Not in intervals durations infrequently
or repeatedly and wherever and whenever.
Often I go where I do not
belong just because I can.
I am not pretty
like a exclamation mark
or a semi-colon or even the lovely
question mark no I am just a dot.
But I am demanding. ClOSE the door.
or I can be polite. Please close the door.
So this is my story.
I am
a period. When you see me it means
a full stop. A break for
the reader.
The end of a sentence.
And in ending always remember to
wrap it up with me.
The end.
