====================
You might have noticed
Dear reader,
That I, your pocket poet,
Am in love ++++
++++ With punctuation.
I’m not resourced
With a great understanding
Of Colons, and semi crochets.
I use hyphens – And lay them out….
To trip you up.
The object ++
As I understand it,
Is to slow you down;
To hold you back, to have you linger on a thought.
To make,
Of a short verse < @ >
A marathon,
Not a sprint.
Sorry for that.
