so
i think some poems suit longer lines. and there's no rule that says you can use a comma, or period etc within a line.
i usually use shorter lines but i'm fine whatever the length as long as it's a decent poem.
doesn't relate to an affectation or effect on poetry?
bukowski rocked his way through poetry while teasdale sailed through it on a punt, both had similar line length but with different meter.
buks poems would in the main have been shite with shorter lines and teasdale could never be an emily dickinson.
and so yeah, if it works however it works, i'm fine with the line length used. in fact i'm not that sure that line length has that much importance at all when measured to the importance of other poetic devices.
