Best Commas Poems

What am I to say to you dear sweet Jim
You have chased me away and now I am gone
But what about you broken by your promises
To me it's a sad old song, you've been gone for way to long
I doubt you knew, fondly whispered memories-...

Crammed between inverted commas
one puts quotes or direct speech,
could be single, could be double
seems a simple task to teach.
Yet some students often mix them.
It’s a skill beyond their reach!

Sweet tooth calling, kitchen beckons to me
Decisions, decisions, what should I make
Pies, cookies, pudding , all good possibilities
They sound swell, but I choose chocolate cake

Checking for ingredients, I have them all
Chocolate, eggs, baking powder, salt and flour
Mix them together as the recipe directs
Patience! patience, should...

I saw your name, I started to smile
Turning left now, only two more miles
My toes were wiggling, at the thought of you
Sipping, squishing, tasting your delight
You're disappearing slowly, out of sight
Your name is intoxicating, so is your taste
You're to be sipped, not gulped down in...

Today begins a comma conundrum.	
Writing poetry that must contain twelve.
Exactly twelve, no less, no more, will challenge us galore.
Laughing my head off, I now begin vying for fun fame.

War mars the face of man.
Though this be known to all men
we realists connive.
Thrice-prancing priests in March
have made red their faces,
have conspired anew to despoil
summer's increase, 
overmuch not caring
for those about to dye
crimson Plutonic plains,
to expire in the dark.
War, Mars, the face of Man?...

I hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base;
Hit the bag, tripped, and was called out.
I got up, turned around, and got in the ump's face;
I gester, kick dust, and I shout.
He pointed at me, at the bag, and said son
You were...

If I met you, Dalai Lama,
I’d know what to say.
I would compliment your mama,
‘Cause she did okay.
Though she didn’t raise Obama,
Who, to us, holds sway,
She had you avoid the drama
Leaders might display.
I’ll bet that if she had a llama,
She would not delay
From sending it to...

you did not
Cupid shoot
an arrow and
as if planned
hit the bull's 
eye of my
heart

you didn't use
curare or any
poisonous
frog's blood
to drug or
make me
fall

in love
but now
my heart
burns with
an ache that
no remedy can
take you away or

ease relief
of acid
not a
flash
back
but like
anti acid

in an opposite
world where
Antacid Man
is a super
hero that
can
do

everything
i wouldn't

We are not here to live forever, but we don't want to go sooner
Another birthday, a day closer to death
The love for money is the roots of all evil they said
But the preacher need it, more than the teacher
What a deceit Ignoring knowledge, For dense
