I have a few notebooks full of short poems kind of like this. I don't think I've posted any of the ones here where I start a sentence with a colon.
I want to put them in critique to have something to do with them. To see what happens.
There is something strange about your claim that I'm using standard punctuation.
As for the second line, it's too soon for me to say if it works for anyone but me. I often go years before changing any of my poems. And usually just a word.
I want critique however, to keep at least a squinted eye on what I should actually be writing if I want people to read what I write.
I've walked out of the bad habit of explaining or justifying anything.
