Poetry-reading is a pleasure;
consuming each line in rhythm
with steady breathing:
a comma has its moment,
a semi-colon a moment longer,
the colon allowing inhalation and exhalation,
and then ......
the full-stop - for maximum appreciation.
Like love-making, where punctuation
is in accordance with age and aptitude.

Well ..... we don't want to rush things,
do we?
