An Ode to Commas
Come on, comma! Complicate completely, my carefully crafted creation, my poem.
Add length to a list, you're always listing, it's absolutely lovely!
Come on, comma! Make my voice, give me cadence with my choice of words. Make this seem and sound more human, subtly weaving, trying to lose myself in the rhythm and the flow, and before you know it, the sentence is through.
Wow, that was a long one.
Come on, comma! You semi-semi-colon. You novice author's crutch, my reason for bad grades. Do your job and make this written word seem lively. Is this a poem? Well, I guess that's up to you.
Come on, comma! You underground apostrophe, I know that you know better, do your job! Get on the ground and trail my thoughts together.
As a rule, near-constantly, your syntactical power inspires me to write my thoughts out rhythmically, in time with the pattern only you can see, you make what's boring worth a read, oh comma...
How I love thee.

“Reminder for me and for you”
You will make it through this day,
deep inside I know that you will.
Just tell yourself you're not giving up,
keep moving and never stand still.
Breathe in the fresh air you feel,
keep your head to the sky and never look down.
Be one with the universe all around you,
listen to the birds and their magical sound.
You're almost there my friend,
keep climbing and believe in yourself.
leave your tears and anxieties behind you,
put your worries and doubts upon the highest shelf.
Walking. Through. Life.
Just walking up the stairs-
Release your jaw.
Walking, walking, walking,
There's a lot of walking here.
Sit down-
Release your jaw.
Listen-
Release your jaw.
Type, remember, talk-
Release your jaw.
2:20, finally!
Walking, walking walking,
Through molasses.
Through pointless and unavoidable air,
Which seeps into my skin and infects my mind;
Engages my thoughts and triggers my response...
Release your jaw.
