    effective enjambments

    To me, this is the best enjambment(ST2: L1&L2):
    "Leave discontent alone, and she
    Will shut her mouth and let you sing."
    It makes you want to know just what "she" is gonna do.
    It is like music flowing in your eyes.
    This one (ST5 L1&L2):
    "The fellow that goes "haw" for "gee"
    Will find he hasn't got full swing." To me the "'s are annoying and not as effective.
    This is another good one (ST6 L1&L2)
    Doesn't flow as neatly..
    "One only knows our needs, and he
    Does all of the distributing."
    Wow, without even trying I have found that must enjambments occur at L1 and L2 of a stanza. Always learning..
    It seems I use enjambment in my poetry also, I just didn't know what it was called. Very effective tool for my Poetry Craft Toolbox.

    And whose troubadour I'd gladly be,
