on the part of me,
when proofreading
all this work of mine;
and do I really care?

I hate colons, 
Semi-colons, 
Commas, 
All the dots, 
The street’s dashed and bold lines 
The formal and informal 
Business and love letters, 
And what worsens my stomach pain, 
The civilized patterns, 
Motifs, 
And jokes and...

A handful of commas,,,tossed in the air
To fall all willy-nilly but he doesn't care.

THE OBAMAS AND THE PAPAS

In this case I ain’t no liar
I know of whence I speak
Allow your children to walk into a fire
And all of you will be left spent and weak

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...

By Parizo Van Thulare 

You have spooked my eyes 
you shocked my nerves 
Wrestling my semi colons 
Showing no mercy to these protons 
Why is this creature obsessed with night ?
Why is he creeping minds...

Laid down her arms
relinquished the chair
The challenger had arrived
flashed up onscreen

Repeating the action 
She examined its power

Next to the title of my poem.
(The letters black and bold.)

“Poems Don’t Have to Rhyme,” is what
I chose to name my piece,
But with this title, what I wrote

Such a grammar fiend, is this thing called punctuation.
A huge plethora of mind numbing aggravation.

Commas, periods and parenthesis too;
colons and semicolons; what's a writer to do?
