Punctuation

Punctuation
By Franklin Price
6/19/2015

Punctuation's not my thing
When writing poetry
I let the rhythm and the rhyme
Punctuate the lines for me

The phrases and the language
When coming from my mind
Are moving through my fingers
Their places on the page to find

To think of punctuation 
Just seems to block the road
To how your mind receives my thoughts 
When in poetic mode

If you need some punctuation
A comma here and there
A period or colon
An exclamation mark when fair

You're invited to participate
And in order not to curse
Punctuate as you require 
As you read from verse to verse

And in appreciation
These final words I say
Thanks for reading what I wrote
And have a happy day!
