Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

Repeat Offender (A Gift For Ms. Guzzi)

I have a box with forgotten words
And punctuation seldom used
In this box are synonyms
And grammar I’ve abused

There are commas there and colons too
Apostrophes spilling out the top
But the one thing there that I’ve got most
Are unused periods to make a sentence stop

I have one friend this bugs the most
Says no periods make my poems fuzzy
So I’ve collected them all and present them now
To the wonderful Deborah Guzzi

Please feel free to apply them now
To my poems written in the past
I know it’s an offense I’m repeating again
But, I assure you this won’t be the last
