The pace of a poem is very important in determining whether the poetry has a breezy tone. This will be aided by poetry that consists of short lines, and using punctuation that is not intrusive enough to spoil the flow of the poetry. The poem shouldn't be constructed so that it is too fast and breathless, which will be the case when the lines are very short and there is hardly any use of punctuation in the poem.
Any way that a poem is constructed is not enough, by itself, to ensure that there is a breezy quality to the poetry. The subject matter has to be relevant to the tone. A serious poem will not be appropriate, but a humorous poem will be. The humor can be of a light nature, but it can also be slightly dark. The latter type of subject matter will be an effective way of disconcerting a reader or listener, with it being combined with a breezy style.
Poetry written in a breezy tone in poetry will work well with an audience, particularly a youthful one. Some poetry, though moving, will not always engage an audience if it is read in a slow and ponderous way. Poetry that has a quicker pace will make it easier for an audience to maintain concentration. A poem that is read out loud with a breezy tone will tend to be short also, so this again assists the audience in not losing interest.
A breezy tone can be incorporated in virtually any form of poetry, from a sonnet to a ballad. The limerick is an obvious form of poetry that is ideal for a breezy tone. The haiku is a short poetry form, but it is not so suitable for a poem that is humorous or lively in nature. Haikus tend to include more reflection, and the pace is consequently meant to be read or said quite slowly. Any form of poetry that helps to give a poem a lively rhythm should be considered.
