Punctuated

I noticed something today.
Where and how I punctuate
My lines helps me shape the
Lyric of my poems. Sometimes
Nothing. Other times I throw
A comma your way or find a
Final period holds the place;
If I want the thought to carry
I might need the aid of a dash
Or a semi-colon! I err on the
Side of caution in refraining
From exclaiming with points
But emphasis is from time to
Time artificially induced and
Needs assistance. Emboldened
Words and letters in caps or
Ital can move an idea through.
I noticed this just today, and
Thought I would let you know.
