What is Enjambment ? With examples

 Enjambment is a literary device in which multiple lines carries an idea or thought. In other words, in certain lines the idea is not complete and runs on to the next line. Such lines are known as run on lines or enjambment. Enjambment helps the writer to convey the confusion in the mind of the speaker.

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain. – The Waste Land by T.S Eliot

The sun hovered above

the horizon, suspended between

night and day.

I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding

When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy’s been swinging them.

5 - We would sit down, and think which wayTo walk, and pass our long love’s day.
