Circular lines will rarely be noticed. Even when I point out instances directly to the authors themselves, they always say it was unintended. Regardless, I believe it adds depth to a poem when an entirely new sentence arises as an option, and those who look out for them will appreciate the poem that much more if it relates to the overarching material.

One of the many craft tools that I often find to be under utilized by poets is the line break. Some traditional poetic forms, such as the Haiku or Shakespearean Sonnet, break their lines as a result of syllable count or meter. Some poets use punctuation to determine line breaks, and some poetic forms, like the prose poem, abandon the line break outright, making their breaks as a result of word count. These craft choices ignore the line break’s power to create tension—a power these poems might not otherwise have. When you refuse to break your lines purposefully and effectively, you could easily damage the potential of your whole poem.
