I Wished I Was The Water -edited

[kindofahippy]

Starting each line with a capital is a problem with me, can't afford to buy modern poetry and all my dusty old books of dusty old verse have everything capititalized, I'm fond of William Blake who loved capitals, and old habits die hard. I promise I'll try to refrain from capitalizing everything in future work.

Let's see, if I glance to the left at my bookshelf I see... Shakespeare, Ibsen, Wilde, Kipling, Tolstoi, Stevensen, Doyle, Hugo, Poe, among others. The most modern is Robert Frost. You're not alone with your old books.

I always liked old poetry and anarchisms for the chance to escape the present and get back to simpler times, but here I hear that using ye olde figures of speech just looks pretentious and silly.
