A caesura is a full pause or break in the meter of a line of poetry. It is often followed by different forms of punctuation, such as a period, semicolon, colon, exclamation mark, comma, or dash.
No. A period or full stop is used to end a sentence. A semi-colon puts a pause into a sentence that is stronger than a comma, but it does not end the sentence.
A caesura is a term used to describe a full or break in the meter often followed by punctuation such as a period, semicolon, colon, exclamation point, comma, or a dash. It is used in poetry to create a pause or emphasis within a line of verse.

A comma causes a pause in a sentence and a period is a full stop. Never place a period where God has placed a comma.
Commas are over-used. If writing is clear enough they can probably be eliminated altogether. Think of them as indicating when you would make a natural pause in a sentence. Semicolons are different; they indicate a break in a sentence where you could alternatively put a full stop, or period. As a very general rule, if you can replace a semicolon with a full stop/period and both sections of the sentence can stand alone as sentences, then the semicolon is probably ok. Commas indicate places where a natural pause occurs in the sentence. Semicolons separate predicates that can each stand alone as proper sentences.
