Entry Title: Enjambment

Enjambment: When a poet continues a thought from one line of poetry into the next line for effect.

• Line Without Enjambment:
  Rolling through the field in the dead of winter.
  
  Line With Enjambment: 
  
  
  Rolling through the field in the
  dead
  
  
  of winter.

Try it:  Color the following lines in green that you think illustrate enjambment?

FIREWORKS (modified for lesson) by Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel feel so paper thin like a house of cards one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under screams
but no one seems to hear a thing?

Excerpt from BROTHER KHOI'S SECRET  p.85

Brother Khoi stinks;

we can't ignore it.

He stews and sweats

in a jacket

he won't take off.

Forced to sponge-wipe

twice a day,

he wraps the jacket

around his waist.

...

Excerpt from Last Respects  p.83

...

I don't know them,

so their pain seems unreal

next to Brother Khoi's,

whose eyes are as wild

as those of his broken chick.

I hold his hand:

Come with me.

He doesn't resist.

Alone at the back of the ship

I open Mother's white handkerchief.

Inside lies my mouse-bitten doll,

her arms wrapped around 

the limp fuzzy body of his chick.
