Day #15, Enjambment and I'm cheating

Definition of Enjambment

The word Enjambment comes from the French word for "to straddle". Enjambment is the 

continuation of a sentence form one line or couplet into the next. An example by Joyce Kilmer 1886–1918 in his poem "Trees" is:

 I think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a tree

Cheating here as this is a poem I already wrote and I'll quit posting sad ones after this. I'm using it because in its first draft my professor said I used a nice enjambment (in green)... (shrug) :)

Chartreuse Flip Flops

They where out greeting eternity

while we stayed in to grieve.

One smiling photo after another

but I kept looking

at the chartreuse flip flops,

wondering

do they smell,

wondering

if one could ever

throw them away.

Footprints sat light

on the slender foam,

dirt and sweat

forming the outlines

of a soul.

and I heard their flip flop sound

coming across the wide tile floors.

flip flops

running to say hi mom,

to get the keys to the car,

breathless

and giggling.

And I have trouble believing

it won't be so.

And so they sit,

chartreuse flip flops,

working like kryptonite

on my soul, sucking

the strength from my beliefs.
