Possibly, Todd. The differences are miniscule but, as you know, in poetry any tiny little squiggle can be important 
Many people these days seem quite opposed to end-line punctuation, or indeed any punctuation in poetry. This bothers me a little. Why discard an entire system just to please the Pound/cummings clones? Having said that, I like a good clean punctuation-free poem as well, but like line breaks, it should be for a reason and never just arbitrary.

It could be worse
