Thank you for your original comment. 
When you removed those two lines I hope you didn't "gut" the poem. The poet is always more intimate (no pun intended) with the poem than the critic is.
I'm going to get murdered here... I often use no punctuation at all in my poems. I like instead to use line breaks and white spaces. They achieve the same objective as punctuation does in my humble opinion.

we're all in the same boat, on one of my poems, the bastards told me i didn't need two lines of an 8 line poem. they were right of course, but i did want to defend the poem, that said, i removed the lines, and hopefully by doing so it will help me in the next one i write.
i always or mostly use small case letters in replies. in my poems i try to use what grammar i need
