NO! don’t capitalize that!
What are you doing?!
I know you can’t double punctuate!
why are you rearranging my grammar?
that is not a fragment,
it’s an abstracted thought!!
AHHH!
if I see another one of those green, squiggly lines
I think I will cheerfully throttle you!
wait, not, I do NOT want the first word capitalized!
don’t you “auto format” me, young lady,
what if I poured coffee on you, huh? Then would you trust my intelligence
to tell me what I want?
It’s POETRY, for crying out loud!
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT, YOU
PIECE OF CRAP MACHINE!!
so why don’t I just write in by hand?
….
too difficult

Hmn. Trust me, its better than Notepad. Too many good poems have been lost to that infernal item of software.

Thanks be to Bill, Dri.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
