Replying to a comment on:

Moments (or) Suicide (Free verse) by Dovina

I made a list as you could do of ten events so brief, profound they rest as Moments vividly recorded for a Moment cannot be mundane Seven remain as wonderful three as terrible. If the list continued I’d like to think seventy percent could be maintained as great My life reviewed and judged like this might be considered in some dark hour not just bunk, but as in this ordinary time for its just worth

The last verse is held hostage to a poeticism called "Internal Punctuation." Some poet had convinced me that it’s ok to leave out commas and periods at the ends of lines, and to include them only if they fall within a line. I think the idea might be bunk. The last verse, properly punctuated, is:

My life reviewed and judged like this
might be considered,
in some dark hour,
not just bunk, but,
as in this ordinary time,
for its just worth.
