Whether to capitalise or not to capitalize the start of lines

[Leanne]

Personally I find it pedantic. It does improve the read quality for me if the capitals are there for a reason and not simply as a Word autocorrect function, but I believe that this falls into the realm of proofreading rather than critique -- and people should be proofreading their own poetry, not expecting others to do it. Commenting on conventions like this also has the effect of making a trend seem like a rule, and in my opinion that is anathema to poetry. There are many grammatical choices in poetry that I dislike, e.g. the small i and the ridiculous overuse of ellipses, but the fact is that they are choices and not mine to make.
