#commas
You use your commas
The way a Southern woman
Puts sugar in tea.

a, comma, tells, us, when, to, momentarily, pause, or, when, things, don't, belong, together, because sometimes there are people like me who don't know when to pause who can't find the remote who are afraid to stop because what if they never start again?
please never put a comma between you and i.

Outta whack,
Outta sync,
Wanna write,
Can't think.
Words dance,
Outta time,
Mismatched,
Bad rhyme.
Lines smash,
Commas fight,
Vowels heave,
Rhythm's *****
Verses clatter,
Phrases crunch,
****** muse's
Gonta lunch.
Gotta write,
Gotta pen,
Words'll come,
Dunno when.
Day's boshed,
Outta sight,
Gonna bed,
Good night!

As punctuation goes
it pauses me, I know
simple words should flow
just like melting snow
Every one reminds
thought, that's left behind
the pieces ill defined
as remnants in my mind
I'll strive to keep it down
the comma's bouncing round
mentally run aground
and mechanically unsound
A crutch I've over used
and yes, totally abused
so you can be amused
as guilty, the accused

is that a period?
no, better put one there.
a comma next, right here?
no, that's a period.
why are there dashes
between 'nine-inches-tall'?
oh, that's a smudge.
i need isopropyl alcohol
to clean up the ****
from eating fudge
and having fun

A pause, a pause
in speech, or even, in clause
expounding on the dramatic
wondering meaning, and cause
Can there be too many commas
when seeking to time an event?
pursuing meaning, too impart
a peek into author's intent
No apoligies or confessions
it's all my timing, not yours
inserting my own punctuation
knocking your imaginative
doors
