I like the break, I think it is an effective way of adding interest to the form.

Love it! I always break the line because it comes out looking wonky if I don’t.

Lichen is fascinating! Probably they like to adhere to skeletons. Good on you for breaking the line with Monoku. It obviously gives your statement more resonance.
