Slightly off topic answer:

I think I saw this in a post of yours somewhere else,
but I wanted to tell you that I almost never use uppercase
(and almost no punctuation marks) in my poems as well.

I do use them in comments and in limericks.

And no one should use them in haiku. It's a tradition
in English haiku that probably is done out of respect
for the first language that haiku was written in
as written Japanese doesn't use capitals (i.e. it has
no cases). It didn't have punctuation marks (well,
almost none) until the 19th century when they started
to be used in translations from English.)
