: Re: Punctuation and capitalisation in poetry I'm writing a poem entirely without commas, periods, colons, dashes, emdashes, etc. However, near the end of the poem I name a city and I want to capitalise

In modern poetry, anything goes. The only rule I would adhere to is the effect of the end result: whatever suits your intended purpose best is the right choice.

In other words, if you want the city to be instantly recognizable as a proper name, then by all means do capitalize.
