How does emjambment and additional syllable in poems construct meaning?
1. Why do poets use emjambment (apart from conforming the rhyming scheme)? What meaning can it be constructed through emjambment?
For example: a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning- Consolation
Lines 1, 2 are run-on lines.
- ALL are not taken; there are left behind
- Living Belovèds, tender looks to bring
- And make the daylight still a happy thing,
- And tender voices, to make soft the wind:
2. I've seen in some poems there is one extra syllable added to the last feet in one particular line, is it a way to emphasizing something?
