Enjambment is defined as the running on of thought from one line, couplet, or stanza to the next without using terminating punctuation. Examples are provided from poems by Kilmer and Keats that demonstrate enjambment through continuing the thought or narrative across line breaks without punctuation. A third example shows enjambment in describing sheep grazing with their wool contrasting the green grass.
