OK so I am having a real bad dat but PLEASE!!!!! poetry is still a form of english language, Just cause you press enter doenst mean you can miss out full stops, commas, question marks, and all those other glorious bits that dont fit within the 26 characters called letters. think of the dyslexics in the world like me.... give us some idea when to breathe |

the thing about poetry is sometimes it's punctuated with semi-colons stressing a pause and the reader's lost not knowing and sometimes it's not and there are no periods explanation points no differentiation of pragmatic platitudes in the persuasion of words attempting emotion with only 26 letters because that's all there is you know and i know and you may not know but there is a certain infinity in the flow of things with our without punctuation because life continues oftentimes without a breath and i'm breathing now deep breathing rapid breathing trying to get to the end of my thought but here's the deal styles come and styles go as do loves so we must let them breathe in breathe out let them take hold let go punctuation is something i often have and often don't depending on the need of it because sometimes sometimes sometimes i don't want it to stop i just want to keep breathing - all you can ever really ask out of life is a sincere apology and some decent poetry - |

It did yesterday. Probably because the archives have been packed up in little boxes for the shift to the new server! |

hey, Rebellious Wing'ed One... THANKS for punctuating me!!!  philip- here's the poem from the archives... (now offline) Kevin -   Twenty-Six Letters curl me up in pages with indelible ink - your words verbal on the edge of a wing - fly me fast to the sweet song of twilight seeping melody past dawn's illusion. there are no margins on a page penned with an infinite number of words sequences combinations and phrases all constructed from the same exact twenty-six letters curl me under your wing and i'll sing a melody without dissonance blended with the chords of ecclasiastes' familiar claim there is nothing new under the sun? ah, but the geometric formations are limitless twenty-six letters that's all there are seven notes sing me the alphabet and we'll write notes in keys owned by a dance in flight infinity has no margins (c) doreen peri, 9/28/2000 all rights reserved |

Yeah, I see this a lot in the Teen forum, it's pretty much left up to the reader where to stop. That can totally change a meaning in a poem! "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Lakewalker http://www.thehungersite.com |

I'm sorry. I guess it's my ee cummings influence, but I just don't punctuate. I happen to like my poetry without any punctuation, thank you very much ;P *sigh* I will try to make an effort in including all of the . , ! ? etc... but old habbits are hard to break! hehehe "It was my love that did us both to death.

Actually..you are quite right! It is needed in poetry, moreso perhaps because after all poetry should breathe! Spelling is also very important for a bad dat!  < !signature-->"Always be a first rate version of your self instead of a second rate version of someone else."

So punctuation is important. Well personally I would say that there are some of us who don't know how to "properly" punctuate. So if you aren't willing to hold a class for those of us less fortunate than yourselves, please(how do I put this gently), then put a sock in it. And even if you are willing, there are still those of us that have no desire to learn. So I still say you need to put a sock in it.
