!! (Exclamations)

Inspired by punctuation, here's a poem for your perusal:

Joining 


!!

(Exclamations)

Uh-Oh! Oh No!
Egad! So Sad!
Exclamations fill the gaps,
Conveying our response to ills.
They are not a memory lapse.

Wow! Indeed! I don’t know what to say!
Awesome! Not Bad! Outstanding! Hey!
Supportive salutations,
Our words, reflective acts
Convey congratulations,
Worthy pats on our backs.

Exclaiming is a shout out loud
Expressing our delight.
Woo Hoo! Whoopee!
Xena’s Yah Yah Yah just before a fight.
But I wonder how an Angel
Exclaims when things go right?

For heaven is our final bliss.
Exclamations, all the glory!
Such a simple punctuation
Rapts up our earthly story.

  3. Love this! When I interviewed Moms and Grandmas and asked them what they would like to say to the other generation, the answers were all exclamations. "Your son is not perfect!" "I am not your baby-sitter!"
