How do you structure a poem?

 

The structure of a poem refers to the way it is presented to the reader. This could include technical things such as the line length and stanza format. Or it could include the flow of the words used and ideas conveyed. Line length shows the reader how it should be read. 












Poems can be structured with rhyming lines and meter,  the rhythm and emphasis of a line based on syllabic beats. Poems can also be free-form, which follows no formal structure. The basic building block of a poem is a verse known as a stanza.
