Limitations of Poetic License

According to the dictates of Suzy Berlinsky, 
a Hello Poetry sibilant chargé d'affaires 
female equivalent, sans Grand Poobah
aye surmise she deems my preference 

favoring lower case, especially taking 
a figurative page from thee poetic play
book of e.e. cummings, (not to be con-
fused with Elijah E. Cummings, thee 

American, and United States Democrat
representing Maryland's majority dark
skinned precinct of Baltimore County 
seventh congressional district), whose 

shadow of fame diminished, but flagrant
flapping flaunting Puritanical principles
tantamount to in traducing taboos up- 
ending ala revolutionary lampooning

his trademark imprimatur guilt frisson
faculty of his to delve into controversial
material blatantly candidly devotedly ex
pressing thoughts, sentiments, and re-

flexes skewed asper an irreverent teas-
zing exuberance flouting orthodox re-
finery by playfully making mince meat
of long cherished, fixed, and insulated

mores as shock treatment technique to 
exhibit parsimonious, opprobrious, and
noxious malice lobbing fondness for 
writing without heeding thy fondness
 
NOT CAPITALIZING the first person 
singular pronoun, i, an upside down
exclamation point, whose dot eye see
clearly despite the fierce maelstrom!
