I love a good National Punctuation Day. Although there were no cupcakes since I wasn’t at work, there was plenty going on via the web. Best yet, Naomi pushed me over the proverbial edge so I took a break from sticking little green squares of fabric to the wall to work my way through the list of punctuation marks. These haiku may bear some re-working but as a first run, there are some good ones in there. Feel free to write your own!
It’s possessive or
a shortened form of two words
says apostrophe.
colon sets apart
second clause explaining first
or shows ratio
The best ellipsis
stands in for all sarcasm
when there are no words.
making air quotes
or using incorrect quotes
blurs the meaning.
I use interpuncts •
to show the haiku line breaks •
regardless of screen.
