I have always been interested in poetry, even though I am not so related to this topic, what always caught my attention about poetry is, what I know now,
It´s called
Line
Breaks.
Now I understand why this topic caught my attention, one particular reason is because that is its function. Line breaks help the poem to have a visual shape, also helps to emphasize and gives certain rhythm to the poem, the writer chooses the type of line breaks depended on the purpose of the poem. Readers also expect a porpose as well, for instance, if the last word of the poem is isolated in the last line, might be because it was important to highlight that detail, or metaphor, and the reader may understand it.
Short lines are mostly used when the imagery is precise and something important to focus on, short lines require better attention to the words written. On the other hand, if the written is on long lines, it may be because it´s important to understand the entire expression.
Line breaks can be used by the writer to express certain porpose, this is a big topic that I am still very interested in, to summarize this topic in a few words its impossible, it is an extended topic to analyze and this is also a reason of why
i think is one
of the
most beautiful
things in
poetry.
