Apostrophe: An apostrophe is a poem that addresses something that cannot answer, whether it be an object or an absent person. If I took my poem My briefcase is never half empty, using the apostrophe style, an example would look like this; I won't lock you my burdened comrade fearfully embraced by your claustrophobic tomb with your insides copiously spilling to the floor do you not wish me to have a life? Your worn edges make me look old yet I have only begun to realize my quest do not assume because we're together I'm your friend you are simply a reminder of all that must be done. Regretfully it's time for us to go home you should sleep until we get there overwhelmed from the stress of your stagnant contents I feel obligated to carry you to safety. I dreamt once that I had left you behind carefree and unencumbered I skipped to my car then the image of you penetrated my being and I could see that you would quiver alone in the dark.
