Punctuating Poetry
To punctuate the positive,
is the goal of many I know.
But poets wallow in negative,
as fortunes come and go.
Poets leave their legacy,
with words that guide us so,
words replace required marks,
for those in the know.
The many forms of poetry,
are like so many games.
Figuring out intricate trajectory,
I guess is their primary aim.
I place my marks,
here very carefully,
to aid in, simply, my,
cyber composition quest.
I have no doubt,
that the syntax clout,
will insidiously call me out,
at my inquisition arrest.
For while I may be,
punctuation savvy,
I doubt if any critic,
will find my punctuation,
poetically worthy.

I don't feel right about a poem with no punctuation which makes me read and read and don't know when I should take a break to catch my breath.
