characterized by or written with enjambment; continuing the thought across line breaks.
Past participle of enjamb, formed with the -ed suffix. This adjective describes poetry or lines that exhibit the technique of running meaning across line endings.
When a line is 'enjambed,' it refuses to stop where the line breaks—it's like the grammar is defying the visual structure of the poem, which is exactly why poets use it to create tension and surprise.
