It took about three years for me to begin to get more comfortable with line breaks in free verse so I understand. There used to be a good article on the gazebo, but I can't find it now.
Here's a discussion on it I started here awhile back (as always opinions may differ):

It's also a good idea to read critically the poets you like and notice why they broke the lines where they did.
Here's a good book that goes into more detail:
