R-AELIT-1

Caesura:

• Presence of full stops in the middle of a line
  • Breaks the flow of the poem + "emphasis" - Christian Choe
• Can be done via a dash, poem, etc.
  • Comma are "almost" caesura, they kinda make us pause by breaking up the steady rhythm of a poem.

Enjambment:

• The continuation of a phrase beyond the line, i.e. there is no grammar point at the end of a line
• Still keep an idea flowing
• Building tension (?)
