Document Summary
Enjambment:the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza. Lineation: the technique for making lines of verse that involve line amplifies meaning, sound, rhythm. Wide range of white space and movement on the page. Using the page to demonstrate the feeling the poem brings. Repetition with the problem is - anaphora - at the beginning of each line. You"ll never get out of the circle/cycle. Breaking the line with speed in mind depends i=in the overall momentum of the poem; the content of the poem and at what speed the story demands to be told; whether to use punctuation or not. En enjambed line cannot be understood independently on its own, and does not end with punctuation. An enjambed line is a suspension of syntax that keeps readers on the edges of their seats, wondering what will happen nedy. An end-stopped line stops us in our tracks for good reason.
