The two correct reasons poets might use enjambment are:

  1. to make the lines of a poem seem less like prose
  2. to create a short pause where one would not ordinarily exist

Enjambment can help to maintain the flow of thought and create a sense of movement in a poem, distinguishing it from prose. Additionally, it can create a pause for effect, drawing attention to specific words or phrases.
