How does enjambment effect the meaning and emotion of a poem?

English

olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago

It keeps the poem moving forward and is often used to soften a rhyme. When a line ends with the rhyme it can sound too 'rhymy'...enjambment helps soften this by keeping the flow so it moves past the rhymed word and the rhyme almost appears to be an internal one. Listen: 

<span>Winners must choose </span>
<span>The deaf cannot hear </span>
<span>Drunkards love booze </span>
<span>Muds far from clear </span>

<span>now try, </span>

<span>sometimes we choose </span>
<span>to listen but not hear </span>
<span>the truth found in booze </span>
<span>when our thinking's less clear </span>

<span>Although not a great poetic stanza, the lines are enjambed and flow from line to line keeps the rhymes from sounding so rhymy. </span>

<span>Enjambment can also assist the poet when the rhymed word "is" in the middle of a sentence and the previous sentence's thought ends before the end of a line...for example: </span>

<span>Freighted with hope, </span>
<span>Crimsoned with joy, </span>
<span>We scatter the leaves of our opening rose; </span>
<span>Their widening scope, </span>
<span>Their distant employ, </span>
<span>We never shall know. And the stream as it flows </span>
<span>Sweeps them away.... </span>

<span>The sencond to last line posted shows how the previous line's sentence ended mid-line. The new sentence picks up and the word "flows", which makes the line rhyme with "rose" three lines earlier, goes almost unnoticed. This is an outstanding example of good enjambment. </span>

Katena32 [7]

Answer

<em>I am an animal, and I know it. I have killed 4 innocent people. People with families, wives, children. I have sinned more times than the hand can count. I am writing this entry in order to capture the last glimmer of my sanity, which now lingers so deep in my mind that no hand nor eye could find it.</em>

<em />

<em>The souls of those who I have slaughtered haunt me every night. They murder my sleep the way i murdered them. My insanity suffocates me. Sleepless nights fuelled with vaulting ambition and suspicion to be the successor of all has killed the innocent flower inside of me. Now all I am is a serpent. A bloodthirsty snake. Good </em>

<em />

<em>As each day flew by after killing Duncan, my mind and thoughts became so evil and vile not even Satan himself would dare look upon me. I realised for the first time after the banquet how far from saving my sanity  was. I was so deep in the blood of my friends, successors and comrades that it this blood lust and thirst for power had become so entrenched in had gotten into my my brain there was no room for rational thought, blurring every good moral I thought I prided myself on. It was a frightening sight for all. My insanity had finally revealed itself as my borrowed robes slipped from my shoulders to show the true beast underneath. Even my beloved wife was shocked. It was a frightening time in mine and her life. </em>

<em />

<em>In this fleeting moment of clarity I see how I was hurting those around me who I, at one point in my life, had honestly loved and respected. Clearly, I am not well. A well man doesn’t kill his best friend. I am sick at heart and I know it, yet I still manage to justify my unspeakable actions to gain a fruitless crown, whose fruits are poisoned.</em>

<em>Who was I to think I could live up to king duncan, a man who’s morals and decisions were always in the best interest of Scotland, not in the interest of materialistic rewards. I am a selfish, selfish man. Not only did I endanger myself and my wife, but I endangered the whole of Scotland. I did all of this for a title that means nothing, for a title that could be stripped away as briefly as a candle is blown out. </em>
