Dew Dost Yea Wander Lost
How would you punctuate this and what lines will it have? The thing about life's punctuation each one may use, the Freedom of Liberty to change, what is there. The only thing, I know, people will not show is the Independence that flowers different lines.
"Are not words present, naught flying past, wherein wet ink stains dry, to be recorded permanent, in parchment ink stains that fade upon the yellow tint of time, To Be our salvation, yet maybe our doom. How deep does the schism crevasse dwell rooted impregnable as if in a Holy Grail testament crease of rhyme, over matter, blossoming the seed, within the mind, being set free to wonder."
Wander
Are not words present,
naught flying past,
wherein wet ink stains dry,
to be recorded permanent,
in parchment ink stains that fade
upon the yellow tint of time,
To Be our salvation,
yet maybe our doom.
How deep does the schism crevasse dwell
rooted impregnable as if in a Holy Grail testament
crease of rhyme, over matter,
blossoming the seed,
within the mind,
being set free to wonder.

I have a simple, selfish reason for punctuation at the end of every line in my poetry. When it comes to creating the HTML version for my website, I must include a breve <br> to force a new line and a paragraph <p> to force two new lines. These symbols are difficult for me to type and I have no voice equivalent to create them with my dictation, so I use my punctuation at the end of the line to create find and replace elements that allow me to add the symbols very quickly when creating my poem webpages.
The AD editor does this for everyone who pastes their poetry here, sometimes with bad results because it is HTML, not just WYSIWYG text. But most poets are not coders and don't realize what it takes to make a webpage and why being absolutely correct is essential in hypertext and totally irrelevant in poetry.
