how B??? @tacotime ma'm can you elucidate it if you don't mind??

anonymous · Answer

i thought it would be d because punctuation is everywhere in the poem

tacotime · Answer

a and c are definitely wrong. I remember in my English class last year the teacher told us that the lines were more of a formatting thing, its not the end of a thought like a period.

You shouldn't stop at a period? @VictoriaRose12

Shouldn't you also hesitate at the end of the line?

ok nice one @tacotime but i would like to have views of @VictoriaRose12 too :)

anonymous · Answer

I'm not a genius at poems, but it seems to me that if you didn't pause at the end of the line the whole poem would sound like one long sentence.
