Here's my found poem from Tuesday. I haven't decided if I'm done with it yet but here's a draft for you guys to comment on.

Punctuate this Poem

Apparently its national
Bad Punctuation Week

Punctuate this sentence for Alissa
Is Christmas December 25 2004 I asked

Good luck
Apparently Alissa believes that Christmas is a once in a lifetime event

That kind of naivete more than adequately explains
the confusion over punctuation

Isnt Jesus more important
than question marks and semicolons

If one doesnt know how to eat
it will not matter if he is served steak or tofu

Take note of the important things first
like Christmas and how to eat

But do not forget about the little things
like punctuation and tofu

  1. I like it, but seeings how I am a punctuation freak, that part drove me nuts! But I think you have to do that for this poem, and it was clever. I really like the 6th stanza a lot. It was really good.

  3. I remember that you read this in class. I felt kind of bad though. I must admit I'm not so great at using punctuation. Your poem definitely makes me want to work on that. I like it, even if you don't feel that it is done. Great read.
