Poet's Prefix

I fear what if my creativity
cease someday ?
The parts of speech 
might fall apart.
If conjunctions fail to
connect things together.
Imagine the poetic device 
rooted inside get rusted.
Wonder the metaphor seems
to become more meaningless.
Like the simile will be in
search for a comparison.
Rhyme of sentences will
break the rhythm of poem.
Soon the oxymoron too will 
loose the sense of humour.
But what about the punctuations,
will they too break the harmony?
I don't think so.....
They are quite punctual.
The semicolon seems to give 
some ray of hope.
It tells that there's something left 
before you put the full stop.
The noun & pronoun will be back
in their place with a backspace.
Even the poetic devices
soon will get dusted.
