Misplaced Capitals
I wonder why i am so sure
centuries of poets are wrong.
Do i write 2 much bull manure
by refusing 2 go along?
By capitalizing each line
as if it is something divine
they are refusing 2 relax
and follow the rules of syntax.
They are still writing sentences
like good poetry apprentices.
I know habits are hard to break.
I think this 1 is a mistake.
Even William Shakespeare did it
but he could get away with it.
