Lines in a poem are counted by the number of individual lines of text, usually by looking for breaks in the text where a new line starts. Sentences in a poem are counted in the same way as in prose, by identifying complete grammatical units that express a complete thought. Each sentence is typically separated by punctuation like periods or commas.
