A key aspect to note when analyzing the structure of a poem is the way it is organized, as it influences the overall meaning and impact of the poem.

A refrain in a poem is a repeated line or phrase that typically appears at the beginning or end of a stanza, serving to unify the poem, emphasize certain ideas, and create a sense of musicality.

Line breaks in a poem impact the reading experience by controlling the pace, creating pauses, and guiding the reader's focus, thus affecting the overall interpretation of the poem.

Enjambment is a poetic device where a sentence or phrase continues into the next line without a pause, creating a sense of urgency, flow, and connection between ideas.

Stanzas play a crucial role in a poem's structure by organizing ideas, grouping related thoughts, and providing a visual representation of the poem's rhythm and pace.
