I learned about the semi-colon in High School; senior year, actually. In the lower grades it was never really discussed. So while I knew it existed, I didn't really know how to use it.

So we had the instruction on it and I thought it was awesome. The lecture happened just before we turned in our final papers and my new found enjoyment of the semi-colon was evident by the teachers cooment at the top, "Did you really need 19 semi-colons?"

Yes. yes I did.

Loved it! Favorite lines:
Related concepts bloom within, so quickly they do roll on,
To show they're separate (but connected), apply the semicolon.

I, too, am quite find of semicolons; they're little commas with cherries on top. And who wouldn't like that, I ask you????? So glad you entered Grammar Girl's contest. Well done.

Thanks! I can't promise it will all be funny, but keep checking back because you never know when the gems droppeth.

I think people lost respect for the semicolon when smilies came into vogue. Maybe it's just hard to take a punctuation mark seriously if you think it's making your sentences wink.

I LOVE this poem! So funny; yet so relevant. You did the dejected, underestimated semicolon justice. What do people have against the little guy anyway? He didn't do anything to anyone. I look forward to reading more of your work!
