Punctuation in Poetry
Punctuation in poetry is used the same way we use punctuation in prose. Each punctuation mark has the same function. Unless you are an avid poet, you should always use punctuation in your poems.
Nature's Green is Gold
by Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
