Hi,
Its me again, just wanted to say thanks for commenting on my poem -
"RE: Sunsets of Bliss.
I like it. The imagery is really vivid. My only critisism is that the capitalization seems random and I don't understand what they're supposed to mean, and it's a little bit jarring."
I didn't want to post this on my poem because it would take it back to the top of the list and it has been around a while so I'd rather give another poem a chance.
As regards all the random capital letters, it seems to be an accepted practice by poets to be able to capitalise words that they deem to be important. I have seen it used many times in poetry that I have read, especially words like Time and Soul. Although saying that it should be used sparingly and I tend to use it probably too much, so I understand when you say that, "it's a little bit jarring."
You are right I it is something I shall be more careful of.
Thanks again for the comments.
