What term describes a 'run-on' line of poetry where the meaning carries over from one line to the next?

The term that describes a 'run-on' line of poetry, where the meaning flows seamlessly from one line to the next without a pause or punctuation, is enjambment. This technique allows a thought or phrase to continue beyond the line break, creating a sense of movement and urgency in the poem. It encourages the reader to continue on to the next line to complete the meaning, often enhancing the emotional intensity and pace of the poem.

Caesura refers to a pause within a line of poetry, often created by punctuation, which creates a break in thought. Meter is the structured rhythm of a poem, determined by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables, while a stanza is a group of lines forming a division in a poem. These other terms do not encapsulate the idea of continuity across line breaks as effectively as enjambment does.
