Punctuation Constellation

by Charlie Morgan

Punctuation Constellation


ellipsises ...
so useful ...
so sufficient ...
so connecting ...

but ...
a period. so final with a thought ...
a comma, so awaiting conjunctions ...
a semi-colon; so needing balance ...
a colon: so expecting an ordered list ...

yet ...

ellipsises ...
so continuing ...
with our umbilical existence ...
while one day segues to another ...
using dawn’s door of night’s dark ...
as smiling sun rays shock morn’s gray ...
letting loose their photon glow ...
panting after an eight minute trek ...

and ...

serves the writer to live again ...
and again ...
and still again ...
all this done with its one face of many lives ...

I don't think Joe Cramer has never been more compelled to comment on a poem. ;)

I'm trying to forgive Ken his pun...which I can do since I am guilty of making them myself! I love this Charlie -and as you can probably tell, I am very fond of the ellipsis...probably because I dislike finality unless...well, I'm being very final!!!
