Punctuation Or Not

[billy]

poetry as many have shown doesn't actually adhere to anything, i suspect most who have a need to cap every line have either seen it done with old poetry or newbs poetry. it's a bit like centre aligning a poem. i used to do it all the time because i saw it done by others who hadn't copped on that it was a gimmick that didn't often work (add anything to it.)
it's just a matter of taste i suppose but is that part of what of what we should give feedback on.

what's wierd is the fact you never ever see anyone say..."oh look you capped every line, i love it when a poet does that"

well if one likes it, why not say it? i don't like it so i mention that it affects the poem for me.
