Lines

Lines

Definition: A number of words that line up in a poem.

Example:
Imagine if your precious nose <-- Line 1
were sandwiched in between your toes, <---- Line 2
that clearly would not be a treat, <-- line 3
for you'd be forced to smell your feet. <--- line 4
~ Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face by Jack prelutsky~


Significance: Lines can help separate ideas. Usually in poems, the number of lines are labeled, so it is easier to find what you are looking for or to make a reference.
