A poem's elements, such as diction and enjambment, create the tone,
or overall atmosphere of the poem.
With carefully chosen words, the poem's mood is set,
A symphony of language, both tempered and fret.
The diction, the choice, of each and every line,
Paints a vivid picture, in colors so fine.
Whether using simple words or phrases profound,
The poet's diction sets the tone, the background.
Enjambment, the flow, of one line into the next,
Gives the poem its rhythm, and leaves one perplexed.
The words spill over, seamlessly, without pause,
Creating a cadence, like nature's own laws.
Together, these elements build the atmosphere,
The essence of the poem, so crystal clear.
Whether light and airy, or dark and foreboding,
The tone is shaped by the poet's own molding.
So next time you read a poem, take a closer look,
At the diction and enjambment, like an artist's brushstroke.
For these subtle choices, in words and in flow,
Create the magic of poetry, a world to bestow.
