The Semi-Colon Poem by Raj Arumugam
The Semi-Colon
it would appear the semi-colon
has an identity crisis;
it might appear
it can’t decide if it’s a dot
or a comma
and so does an acrobat act;
but really the semi-colon does more than that
for it does
complex listings the comma can’t manage
and can say things quite cleverly, like:
“All things are expensive; life sucks.”
So really this semi-colon
is not a semi - but indeed a full-blown device

The semi colon is very neat. Love the way it works. Once, I'd over use it, but now, I'm better. Love this one too, Raj. It's very informative. 10
