Sentences Also Deserve Respite

A Poem by Johnny White

Slicing up the pasted presentation,

 

and with a flippant tail preferring pause, yet accustomed to and

 

not adversed so malignantly as others of your kind to

 

such a pause as one not heard but felt,

 

you are by far my favorite of the puntuation marks,

 

O Comma.

Hehe! How clever! I really like the idea of linking an abstract concept like a "felt" pause to something as concrete as a comma. An ode to a punctuation mark! Excellent! Only in today's postmodern world would such a thing happen. I'm not sure if I can critique the punctuation in this poem because it's so deliberately placed, but I think it would make more sense if you changed the "oh Comma" to an "O Comma!" It would make it a bit more formal (and therefore more funny) since the capital "O" mimics the style of the ancient odes.

Great job with this!

I have to admit this poem made me smile. It seems childish and fun, in a good way. Very light and sweet.
