Best Answer

long:

sentences that allow the poem to talk descriptively and to not pause in sentence. In other words longer expressions have a dynamic effect on a poem's rhythm by helping to form lines that are not all end-stopped. The natural rhythm of the expression wraps around the end of the line, causing interesting and powerful tensions in the poem's structure.

Short: to create quick, effective and memorable things in a poem. this can serve to strengthen the poem's natural pace, or make possible heroic couplets where appropriate.
