POETRY IS A RECITED ART as folk talk &recite they naturally  pause after one breath.. thus gramatical symbols  are superfluous.. tradition calls for capitals at beginning of lines .. but again spoils    the flow as most will unthinkingly    hesitate ...thereat so also ' lines' as such  are an irrelevance in this open context .,without these things  each person brings a uniqueness  to the poem.. much as  we all do when looking at  a work art  or touching  a tactile sculpture .. a poem  is or should be   similar

Well said Brian. I was at a zoom poetry meeting earlier and we talked about the same poem having different meaning like visual art.
