A Capital Idea
I have researched but i can’t find
roots for tradition of one kind:
Making first letters in a line
a capital every time.
There’s no logic for this nonsense,
so how did this habit commence?
I believe it would be better
to use a lower case letter
so as not to restrict the flow,
eliminating stop and go.
Poet and reader could relax
with a more natural syntax.
Use a capital where we ought
to start a sentence or a thought.
