As it can be seen, the “music” of a poem is essential part of its meaning. However, this music can be lost if the reader does not pay close attention to the form and to each word of each line. The poet is very careful when he writes his poem, and he uses many different ways to allow the reader to feel the music and understand the meaning of his words. One of the techniques William Stafford used to create this poem was what we called run-on lines, which is:

Mouse Night: One of our games

William Stafford

We heard thunder. Nothing great – on high

ground rain began. Who ran through

that rain? I shrank, a fieldmouse, when

the thunder came – under grass with bombs

of water scything stems. My tremendous

father cowered: “Lions rushing make

that sound,” he said: “we'll be brain-washed

for sure if head-size chunks of water hit us.

Duck and cover! It takes a man

to be a mouse this night,” he said. 

A
the line ending with no punctuation. In this case the poet intends the reader to read with no pause.
B
to stop at the end of a line with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.
C
when the rhythm of the poem so strong, it forces the reader to slow down.
D
to read the poem in sentences to avoid singsong effect.
E
the mistake of stopping at the end of each line whether or not there is a punctuation mark.

For Obama, Big Rise in Poll Numbers After Bin Laden Raid

JAPAN PENSIONERS VOLUNTEER TO TACKLE NUCLEAR CRISIS
A group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners are volunteering to tackle the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima power station.
     The Skilled Veterans Corps, as they call themselves, is made up of retired engineers and other professionals, all over the age of 60. They say they should be facing the dangers of radiation, not the young.
    It was while watching the television news that Yasuteru Yamada decided it was time for his generation to stand up. The retired engineer is reporting back for duty at the age of 72, and he is organising a team of pensioners to go with him.
    Volunteering to take the place of younger workers at the power station is not brave, Mr Yamada says, but logical.
    "I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15 years left to live," he says. "Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of getting cancer."
