Commas

What happens when a comma is used incorrectly?

     Does it make your sentence

     Run on forever?

     Or does it make your craft

     and style better?

     Can you learn how to use it?

     And learn how to not

     abuse it?

     Possibly it can correctly

     connect clauses.

     Or does it sometimes represent pauses?

Based on Harlem by Langston Hughes

This poem is a parody of the famous Langston Hughes poem called Harlem. The purpose of the poem is to explain the way a comma works when using it as a splice. The purpose is also to show how commas work or can be used when correctly connecting clauses.
