Best Answer

Poetry can have fragments, it is one of the few genres that can break as many rules as needed. such as:

Mice

I think mice

Are rather nice

There teeth are white

There faces are small

Their ears are pink

They havent any chins at all

This poem is over to all

All you people big and small

As you can see, every line is capital, there is no punctuation at all. In a paragraph ther has to be capital letters at the right places and punctuation at the end of sentances.
