A formal poem feels too neat and you want a deliberate fracture.
This poem follows a form. I want to break it, once, so the break means something. 1. Describe the form the poem currently keeps, including anything it is already doing slightly irregularly. 2. Identify the moment in the poem's argument where a reader's expectation should be disrupted: the turn, the lie, the refusal, the thing the speaker cannot say. 3. Propose four different fractures at or near that moment: a dropped rhyme, a short or long line, a missing stanza break, a metrical collapse, an unfinished sentence. 4. For each, say what the reader will feel and whether they will read it as intentional or as a mistake. Recommend one. Show the poem with that break applied. Do not scatter small irregularities throughout, one break only. Poem:
Finishing a poem. Cutting, ending, titling, and the last decisions before you call a draft done.
