God of Grammar

You are the Suffix
and the Prefix.
You are my very
immediate Intensifier.
No doubt, you are
the Definite Article.

O Most Conjunctional Creator,
I am sentenced
with your active verbs,
direct objects, and superlatives.

God of grammar,
of spiritual parts of speech,
Corrector of wrong syntax:
Point out my fragments
and other errors of composition
as I see each of my question marks
straighten up into exclamation points.
