An enjambment poem is one where the first line of each couplet begins a sentence that is continued into the next line. The word "enjamb" comes from the French word for "to straddle."
This poem is unfortunately an all-too familiar situation I find myself in as I have too much time to think on my commute to work. Thankfully, sometimes it rains.
Masking Tears
The shower drips all around me
Clutching my cloned black umbrella.
Sheets break up against my boots
As I slog the mile to work.
People form a headless crowd
As I lower the umbrella to graze against my hair. Plump drops roll down my coat
Which have nothing to do with the weather.
Because of the welcoming rain
I can mask the pain one more day.
