Hey guys... quick question.
In poetry, the same rules of puncuation apply, so you don't need a comma at the end of every line. This might be a stupid question, but does the first letter of every new line (even if its not a new sentence) have to be capatalized? Like...
He renamed himself Edgar Allen Poe
and pretended to fight enemy foe.
(Don't ask)
But is the "a" in and supposed to be capitalized?

Generally in poetry the first letter of each line is capitalized but this is not always the case. Occassionally a poet will not capitalize the beginning of every line for creative reasons. But if you look at most poetry, the first letter of each line is capitalized regardless of its place in the sentence.
P.S. If you are having trouble thinking up rhymes,

Is that a comment on my lack of poetry skills, Liz? Thanks. Just kidding, thanks for your help :)
Its all up to you. Check out e. e. cummings. He only capitalizes words he thinks are important (i think)
fun fact btw: i think he legally changed his name so its lower case.
No. That website was meant for the general population that is this class.
A population that is on the brink of extinction I might add. lol
Hahaha Dan's comment actually made me LOL. :) I love our little class/family.
