Punctual Punctuation

from he'll
to hell
from she'll
to shell
well we'll 
see how
deep it is

a dash
is a walk
but two or 
more dashes
makes 
me
run

a colon is
a man's gland
a gee spot
poked fun at by 
a rubber covered
proctologist's
finger

a semicolon
however is
not in
any sense
of the word
a medical
condition

but as all 
bad poetry
must end
and so 
there
is the
period

it seems
a simple
dot not a
comma
nor a
comment
but an end

yet
for mi
Musa she
sees it as a
new beginning
to an end of another
month's cycle that she

with the moon
stays in tune
always a
blood
moon
but
i

realize
that though
twenty five the
twenty nine and 
a half days that pass
make her entire being
whole
.

I like how you play with words. The sand box is not large enough to contain you. Also I have the feeling that you may not always play nice with some of the other kids. I enjoyed reading your thoughts this morning. May you be blessed by He who you thought you had imagined.

Thank you Richard. I was only able to get to some of your comments, but I'm home from work. I will try to get to as many as possible. First, I read on one of them "have a good weekend". Actually my weekend from work is Tuesday/ Wednesday; but never mind that because I need to introduce my real, true human being Muse. She has been the inspiration for all, but true stories and whimsies. She's an amazing person. Very much loved. mi Musa!!!
