Questions without Punctuation

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Questions without Punctuation

 

 

do you find me amusing

in the aftermath

of catastrophe's

party in my heart

 

the favors you took with you

the empty box

you left of my feelings

the party in your heart

 

I find you amusing

with nothing

of the something

of that thing 

we had corrupted

 

were we villains

felons

your talons

exposing the skin of my 

masochistic need

to be

Hard to write a poem with a period. In my writing groups. I met many who didn't us Punctuation. A new sentence started with a capital letter. I need my punctuation. Thank you Jacob for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Thank you, Cassie...how are you?
catastrophe's
party in my heart

No mistaking here, the outcome of this relationship J. A disaster. Can you get anything worse than a catastrophe? I asked a question and added punctuation :) I like my poetry without punctuation. Such excellent work from you.
