“hemistichical “

I’d say I’ve learned a new word, but I can’t find a definition for it and I’m not sure I can even pronounce it.

Definition of HEMISTICH
: half a poetic line of verse usually divided by a caesura

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hemistich

I would take it then, that hemistichical, is something that encompasses a half line of verse. Half poetic, half assine.
