Proofread?A Poem by Rita L. SevThe answer - probably not.Is it really too much to ask To add some punctuation? It may not be a crime for which There’ll
be incarceration. It's an affront to clarity, In all
manner of your writing And
fully understanding it’s The
battle I am fighting. You may
have great ideas, You
include some clever verse, But why
will you not punctuate? It
borders on perverse. A comma
now and then might let Me know
when there’s a pause; A
period may help me see The end
of that long clause. Some
simple dots and squiggles Are
what I’d like to see; Question
marks, quotations, A
correct apostrophe. I
cannot tell which sentence parts Combine
or stand alone Oh,
damn, I have just noticed Your
misuse of homophones…
