Poetry Terms: Lines

Definition Poetry's language. Poem's sentences. A single line of the poem.
Example There are six lines in the bottom poem.
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day. 
~"A word is dead"
by Emily Dickinson

Significance Without lines are like a paragraph without punctuations, or a paragraph with continuous run-on sentences, over and over again. Now pretend that you are the reader reading the things above, I think it would take millions of try to complete that. Try reading the whole paragraph non-stop. You would probably be blowing up right now, just like another balloon explode when they get to much air inside. Hope you see the importance of it.
