Quick first effort:
APOSTROPHE TO PUNCTUATION
Let's now praise punctuation.
The marks it makes are myriad.
The dash of hyphenation,
the dot that is a period,
the squiggle that's a comma,
together put the soul in
our language, and add drama,
as does the semicolon.
I know these days the fashion is
to mock it and attack it,
and yet I find my passion is
aroused by one plain bracket.
Quotation marks add energy
and guillemets add spark.
How to end this poem? You'll see:
An exclamation mark!
