Where does the line turn?

A line break is the one piece of punctuation only poems have. Line Break Lab reads every line ending in your draft and shows which ones close, which ones run on, and which ones go soft.

### What it shows

Weak endings

Lines that close on a soft or throwaway word, where the break does no work.

End-stops and run-ons

Which lines close on punctuation and which pull the reader into the next.

Line length

Your average line, so you can see where the shape of the poem changes.

### How to use it

1. Paste a draft, or start from the sample poem.
2. Read the flags on each line ending.
3. Move one break, cut one soft word, and run it again. Watch what changes.
