Enjambment

A line of poetry that runs on into the next.

Noun · pronounced en-JAM-ment

What it means:

Enjambment is when a sentence in a poem carries past the end of one line into the next, without a pause, pulling the reader forward.

The poet uses enjambment so the word "falling" waits at the edge of the line before it drops.
