Relating to, marked by, or containing a cesura or pause in poetic verse.
From cesura + -al suffix, creating an adjective to describe the quality or presence of a cesura.
A 'cesural rhythm' in poetry creates a heartbeat-like effect—stop, continue, stop—and poets from Chaucer to T.S. Eliot deliberately placed cesuras to make readers pause for emotional impact!
