Elision- (literally, a striking out) The collapse of two syllables into one, marked by a curved line [curved line] beneath a word in scanning a poem. The most common elisions are the most effortless and involve the blurring of lightly aspirated consonants rather than hard ones.

Tension- Pull, or tugging, which occurs either when syntax works against and diverges from line, or when other elements of style work against each other.

Enjambment- The linked continuation of phrase or clause across the line boundary, creating a certain “tugging” effect.
