Puinkination

Punkination

Do we forget that words an rhyme,
Is poetry’s other dopey climb,
Insanity and sordid mime,
Are maybe still in fashion.

The words do flow,
 just mental go,
Unbridled by the spelling,
Punctuation doesn’t have to know,
The trivial line I’m dwelling.

Spell checker of the soup,
 disagrees with me,
perhaps I have the,
English stoop, stupe,
Like tire or tyre for thee .

Don Johnson 11-jul-11

Verse should be judged on its meaning and flow,
Not by punctuation , or spelling ya  no (olde English was badly spelled too)

Yes but good poetry gets failed by some school marm type who may like the poem but fails it on the lack of commas:) I THOUGHT THIS WAS A POETRY SITE:) not school. A good half of us never had much schooling.
