Enjambment
Running lines into following lines without pause, creating fluidity and disrupting regular rhythm.
Real World
Seamus Heaney's 'Digging' opens with enjambment running across stanzas to mimic the continuous, rhythmic motion of digging — the line breaks enact the poem's very subject.
Exam Focus
Identify where the sentence continues past the line break, then explain the surprise or emphasis created when the meaning is only completed in the next line.
