I write words,
In short sentences,
To hone the attention,
Of my beloved followers.
Some say I am mad,
some say stylised,
But my sentences,
Short as they may be,
Speak volumes,
To my adoring flock.
I once read,
In my school magazine,
A poem,
Shaped triangularly.
Later in life,
Once I had perfected,
The art of poetry,
I came across something new.
It was a wordy paragraph,
Dressed as a poem,
And I cried in wonderment,
At its lazy genius.
I will finish by saying this;
That you will read on,
My tireless children,
Till the very last word.
You will sigh and laugh,
Tut and complain,
At my bewildering genius,
You so easily pleased.

Great poem, but it seems to have some sort of punctuation/end-stopping fetish. Or are the extra punctuation marks the 'errors' of the title? You should punctuate poetry as you would prose; for grammatical sense - if you want a pause, the line break will do that for you anyway - here, it interrupts your 'flow'. Also, feel the repetition of 'genius' doesn't work - think a synonym would be better if substituted for one of them. J x p.s. 'Once I had perfected, The art of poetry,' Have you, indeed...?!

Don't delete this, things written in depressive anxiety are well worth keeping and at least your depressive anxiety enables you to write (and write with humour) mine on the other hand is not so enabling.
