He ran onto the open field.
His broken leg had long since healed.
And so he learned the trick to wield
a baseball bat and never yield.
I want to know what it’s called when the sentence or thought carries over, as at the end of line 3 and beginning of line 4 here. Thanks!

The end of line or between two verses it is the end of syntactic unit phrase clause or sentence by the term is directly borrowed from the french enjambement meaning straddling or sentence by the end of line or between two verses it.
