ellipsis

[nibbed]

Hi nibbed!

I think you miss the point of ellipsis. They don't denote a pause, so much as indicate that words have been omitted at this point.

Hi, just mercedes.
Thank you for the correction!
You're right.
Pause is not the right word!
I wanted S1 to show an ellipsis as a space
and S2 to show an ellipsis as three dots.
It does sound like an ellipsis is trying to pass
as a pause in this poem!
Thank you for being an encouragement
and a blessing as I learn. 
You've helped me to make my poem better.
Thank you!

Maybe this will work:

Moments require space
and clues float into place,

but please remember to score
the proper number of marks:

ellipsis.
