Which term is defined as the continuation of a line of poetry to the next line without punctuation or pause?



Answer: The term that is defined as the continuation of a line of poetry to the next line without punctuation or pause is called enjambment. An example of this would be the first line of Joyce Kilmer’s poem Trees:


“I think that i shall never see/ A poem as lovely as a tree"


I hope it helps, Regards.

This is called enjambment.

Free verse is writing without meter, alliteration is repeating consonant clusters at the beginning of words, and assonance is repeating vowels in words in a row
