The do’s and don’t
Of using these
Are rigid,
I suppose
But who is quite immune to them?
Their where and when,
Who knows?
Ink-impression impresses us
At varied intervals
And sometimes ellipses evoke
…unwritten syllables
And sometimes italics suggest
Something sentimental
Impacting with strange
squiggliness
What words cannot quite
tell

I couldn’t help but chuckle at this post, esp. because Emily
of New Moon (the series of books I’m reading) loved to use italics and every
teacher said ‘Don’t’.
…and I am learning so much from her teachers :)
