I can't tell if that was a compliment or not. :p

Wonderful poems but just thought you would like to know that in poems it is gramatically correct to capitalize all beginning letters in a piece of poetry, like below
Is it true? Is that really what you think of me? Who I am Is not your problem Who I will be Is not your business Who I was Is all you can see? ‘Cause that’s me That is what I want You to think Fooled you all Had you wrapped around my little finger ‘Cause the girl you knew Is gone Kept under lock and key Because you refused to see the truth So mask was born It is the perfect child Don’t you agree? But you see It isn’t me And one day I’m going to explode Going to make a mistake Then you are going to know the real me And you are going to be afraid ‘Cause you kept me locked away -unknown Poems are one of the few forms of literature that allow you to use incorrect grammar though. I like your poems alot. :) Puppy to Asami Gallagher is Nursy~ Broken Muse is my girlfriend And Ducky is awesome! Quote:

Haven't been here in a while. Just read your poem with the Dogwoods. I find it interesting, since dogwoods used to grow along the embankment surrounding my elementary school and I used to walk around them. But, like any of your stuff Sheol, I'll need to read it a few more times before making up my mind on it. ;)
And Love, I've actually been thinking about the capitalization thing lately. I don't think it's considered 'grammatically correct' as much as something that was traditional to do. I was taught in elementary school that the first letter in a line of poetry always had a capital letter, but this seems not to be the case anymore from the more modern poetry I've been reading, especially in poems that otherwise follow normal punctuation between lines. | ||||

Form follows function. >_<
Every line being capitalized is an eyesore to me, it ejects me right out of the poem. It's like seeing a random capital letter mid-sentence. Which, granted, is actually within a poet's purview if it serves some purpose, but that's completely beside the point. Anyway, I assure you, the lack of capitalization is entirely willful, intentional, and considered on my part. I have precious little respect for formal poetry, anyway.

Seems it might have been something of a fashion at one point, or something for nitpicky people, like the Oxford comma. I was tought to use that too. ;).
Seems to have fallen out of fashion now, so to speak. | ||||

Sorry I didn't mean to offend you, I guess I;m just used to formal writing styles more than freeverse. My grammer and writing teachers would always yell at my class when we would forget to capatalize the first word of each line intentional or not.

Don't mind me, I'm an English major who despises literature and literary theory; I tend to say to Hell with the rules more often than not, and if some elitist academic in an ivory tower has a problem with it, to Hell with them too. >_>
*ahem* Sorry. Anyway, not offended, though if you want people to comment on your own poetry, it would be a good idea to make your own topic rather than post it in someone else's, you're likely to get more attention that way.

My own poetry? Oh, that poem isn't mine, I would put who it is by but I don't know. I thought it was a good example though.

Not your mistake, I actually forgot to put that the author was unknown at the end. *head desk*

Curiously, it was the creative writing majors at my university that were the rules sticklers. Most of us Lit majors didn't really care. Watch literature shift over a few hundred years and rules and norms start to seem less important.
I still do capitalize my poetry lines though, even my free verse poems. ;) | ||||

You should try not-capitalizing sometime. The rebelliousness is addictive. :p

I have on a couple of occasions. It feels somewhat irritating to me, breaks up the flow I have in mind ;).

Madness! It's your conformist capitalization that breaks up the flow!
