No exclamation points
A poem.
A poem.
By
Deborah Finkelstein
No exclamation points
in short stories, the teacher says.
They鈥檝e been over-used and the reservoir is empty.聽
When exclamation points rain from the sky
then we can use them.
But until then: Help. Run. Fire.
Perhaps this is why
it鈥檚 so hard to convey
the excitement
of an acceptance letter.聽
Something is lost in
Wow. They鈥檙e publishing my book.
