What does 'enjambment' mean?
Enjambment is a specific poetic technique where a line isn't end-stopped and continues on into the next (it can also occur from one stanza into the next). It often results in emphasis of the last word of the line, since you will naturally elongate the word as you read it; and also gives a sense of continuation between lines and stanzas.
