The Night the Blacks Came

[rowens]

Thanks for the advice. Like you said, I'm trying to get away from the way I do things here, as if another person is writing it. So I was lax with the punctuation; I wanted to see what comments would say. The dash is something I use a lot though. For a pause, like you said. I like dashes, I like the way they look, I like the way they look and are used in other poems I read by other poets. So you can call it a quirk if you want. With this poem though, I can consider what you said about them.
