All the rules of grammar and punctuation that apply to clear and intelligible sentence production apply to poetry. Just because one is writing poetry does not mean that run-on sentences or sentence fragments (dependent clauses) are fine. The rules that govern writing in general apply. These rules have been worked out over time to give the most clarity to the writing. This is even more true with poetry.
