Sonnet

Is it possible to end a thought in the middle of a line in the sonnet (like if it spills over from the line before it)? I know Laz said that in middle english poetry the schops stuck to one thought per line but I don't remember if he said anything different about sonnets.

Yes you can end a thought in the middle of a line, he said that in middle english they did one line ideas but it is perfectly acceptable to end your thought in the next line.
