We are sticking to a rhyme scheme.
How should we use words, punctuation (commas, periods, dashes) capitalization, spacing, format in a poem?
WITH A PURPOSE!!
You have the control.
Think about
Why am I putting a period there?
Why am I capitalizing that?
Why am I leaving this all as lower case?
Why am I using a dash?
Why did I choose that word?
Where do I want the reader to stop or pause?
