Question: What effect does enjambement have on a poem in terms of effect on the audience and how it represents the!?

poet's intended meaning of the verse!? also, what effect does the number of lines per stanza have on the audience (i!.e!. does it make a difference if the poet uses the same number of lines per stanza or differing numbers of lines per stanza!?) If the poet decides to use the same amount of lines per stanza what effects do you think they are trying to create!?

Would really appreciate the help!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

If your reading out loud then the number of Stanza lines will usually pass over the audiences head!.!.!.when your audience is only looking at a written piece the number of lines add to the structure!. The line or stanza breaks provide a slight pause and a sense of layering between the word breaks (this is assuming free verse!. In some traditional forms your stanza lengths are fixed)!.

Enjambment speeds up the pace of the poem because the end of the line does not create a more full stop as the reader is compelled to move more quickly through the poem!.

I hope some of that helps!.
