A "run-on line" refers to a line of poetry that continues into the next line without a grammatical pause or break, often creating a sense of urgency or flow. This technique can enhance the emotional impact of the poem and maintain the reader's momentum. It contrasts with end-stopped lines, which conclude with punctuation and a complete thought. Run-on lines are often used to create a more conversational or dynamic rhythm.
