Coloring commas, a copycat’s game

Cohesive cooperation collects copious name....

Or what is this thing called, love

A sign writer's disgrace,
    When he left too much space,
    Between The Fox and and, and and, and Chase.
    Now try it without both commas in place.

and more words
separated by 
space and time
commas
dots
dashes

make as we go
to give meaning to all
the truth
and 
the lies...

Discipline displayed to me
the dough of dialogue
to slice the sentences 
cut off crusty commas
and place the pudding 
of the poem
where the heart tastes the soul

Words are eating commas,
Phrases are eating the page
Pages are eating  the parallel space
The end of Quantum Mechanic
Is reaching its absurdity
its maximum entropy
It is cold
I have to burn my journal....

Butterfly with gorgeous hues

Grasping memories

To what extent
is reality persuadable

Are the fence posts in concrete,
the commas unknown

Are the laws of existence 
as such, redefinable

The axioms fluid
—truth more than is shown

Hello there fellow poets,
I really like all of your poems,
I wish to join you,
and write my poems too,
So please welcome me,
I'll let my imagination run free,
Through constant commas and words,
Let it fill up the world like birds....

Her book was disturbing,
  in an antiseptic kind of way

Cleansing words of their reluctance,
  periods gone—commas laid

Candied dreams
are white flags
without respect
to this depletion
of anticipation. 

Commas are no longer
Periods as I enter
this complication.

Taking it for granted
Is indeed a certainty. 

With red wine in my 
hand, counting this as a 
Loss I am ready for 
Transition....

she says
she loves
me and the
feeling is good
feeling that
the world
will never
end

happiness
becomes
addiction
loneliness
forgotten
in blurred
vision just
side effects

what is this
thing called
love?
what is this
thing called,
love?

I hate Periods and like most Commas, 
a Full Stop turns me off

Quotation Marks I can endure,
but Semi-colons not

I love a good Exclamation Point,
all Question Marks so so

But my favorite is the Em Dash
—replacing most of those

Refusal

Stood on top my desk 
rope over a beam 
postman knocked three times
there is hope
a letter
a publisher has sent me a letter
I open it and laughed
it is another rejection
something about my spelling 
lack of punctuation and commas 
the publisher
used to be a teacher...

THE QUESTION MARK


Our life-
A question mark it is-
Struggling 
Into an exclamation point
To turn
But
After numerous battles against
A series of: 
Commas 
Semicolons
Colons
Brackets and
Dashes,
Exhausted;
Ends up-
In most cases-
A…period "." to 
Be.

I was writing a poem 
and to my dismay
I deleted the document 
and i did not press save

my stanzas and commas 
and all of my words
are lost in oblivion
all gone to the birds!

and i cannot remember
a thing that I wrote
I'm so waist deep in sadness
that I need a life boat

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!
