Answer Details
A metrical pause occurring in the middle of a line in a poem is called a "caesura". A caesura is a pause or break in a line of poetry, typically occurring near the middle of the line. It can be indicated by a double vertical line or by punctuation such as a comma or period. The purpose of a caesura is to create a rhythmic pause in the poem, allowing the reader to take a breath and giving emphasis to certain words or phrases.
