Emphasis

Fay Slimm.

 

Emphasis.


I am your very upright, short 
exclamation mark - ! ! ! 
but please note
you get out of control mostly
with using me ! ! ! ! ! ! 

 
When I ought to 
be employed wisely you dote
on my form ! ! ! 
and seem caught
up with my simply notable
over thin waist-line ! ! 

Now brought
almost close to  boasting
I disclaim naught 
about the cut of my coat.     
being so skinny ! 

I stand as tall as can be.

Do then call
on me for extra force !!

Use my emphasis ! ! !

I am your endorser ! !

See me as mentor ! !

My punctuation 
will add to your thought
at sentence end !

So forget you were taught
to stifle my horn !

I load the key note 

so blow me ! ! !

          Fay, I am always enthralled with your beautifully crafted poems, but I have to say as I read this one and got to the end I couldn't stop laughing. This is priceless and so perfect for the end of a year where everyone seems over the top with emphasis. Not only are you the first lady of beautiful verse, but a wit extraordinare.

            Ha - - my gratitude for your visit and comment on Emphasis dear Bella - - - so pleased it raised a laugh at the end of this difficult year for us all - -- - I have always been keen to highlight simple linguistic grammar as some writers need help to better use of primary factors to enhance their verses. Thanking you most sincerely for your support and wishing you my friend a happy and prosperous New Year.
