Using white space and linebreaks

What is… White space: how a poem is arranged on the page, including line breaks, page layout/format, and spacing Line break: where the author choose to end the line Caesura: dramatic pause, usually in the middle of a line and marked with a dash

Why do poets use white space and line breaks? to make certain words stand out to make us pause after significant words to make us stop and think because it’s the main idea

Where do we make line breaks? Line breaks serve an important purpose in poetry. The end of a line signifies a pause – short when there’s no punctuation, a little longer when a comma occurs at the end of a line, and longest of all for end punctuation such as periods or question marks. Where you locate their line breaks is where their readers will place the hanging emphasis of pause; line breaks control poems’ sound and meaning.
