... Sometimes my thoughts are incomplete ... ... in all I try to say or do ... ... so I fill in the dead space ... ... with an ellipse or two ... ... knowing that they infuriate some ... ... but caring not a twit ... ... omission of a word or phrase necessary ... ... for a complete syntactical construction ... ... but not necessary for understanding ... ... a poem in total destruction ... ... I love ellipses .... yes I do ... ... so you are just stuck with it ... ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Hi, Marge. I, too, am an unabashed, unapologetic and prolific user of ellipses... ...In fact, I love them. ...AND, they are VERY useful when you DON'T want to finish a thought...for whatever reason... ...See what I mean...? Very funny... John xo  Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? |

Marge, I absolutely LOVE the title. And yes, I understand your position. I wish I could talk with those three little dots.Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Far too often I find myself using them... to make various points...in place of other punctuation... to indicate unfinished sentences... or? I love your poem concerning them...... Rae |

ROFL... You've gotta know I love this!! *S* In writing my legal memos, I use ellipses to indicate that I've left out part of what I'm quoting... I sorta figure that's descriptive of my mind and poems - something's missing! LOL |

(giggles) And I certainly don't mind you using them, as I too believe ellipses speak volumes in literature, as to me it is representative of an individual really feeling the moment, reflecting in a sensitive demeanor, and I believe there's so much we fail to feel in life if we only go by commas and periods! (smiles) I enjoyed this, dear friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marge, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!
