Poets
     who write 
               in traditional forms 
                                 based on meter and rhyme
chunk their poems
                  but
                  in a different way 
                         from graphic syntax,
                                       which chunks 
                                                    based on grammatical units.
Both,
     I believe,
can make text easier to comprehend.

My students report
                       that they can understand difficult texts better

Isn't the way much poetry is printed somewhat similar to graphic syntax?
It makes poems easier to read, I believe.
