John Mole's 'Coming Home' has a first stanza that sets off in a very steady rhythm, with the first four sentences the same length as the line, and the same length as each other!. The fifth sentence is only half-a-line long, and the pause following that full stop creates a caesura in the line, which draws attention to the important paradox in the fifth line, that "They lie together now!. They sleep apart"!. Follow this link to read the full poem: http://www!.poetryarchive!.org/poetryarchi!.!.!.

'Walking Wounded', by Vernon Scannell, has its first caesura after the word "blood", which sets an ominous note for what will come in the following lines!. follow this link to read the poem!.!.!.(http://www!.poetryarchive!.org/poetryarchi!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
