The answer is that enjambment is when a thought runs on from one line to another, and caesura is a pause or sudden break in a line of poetry.

An example of enjambment is: Her eyes shined
like the stars in the sky.

An example of caesura is: Her eyes shined. Like the stars in the sky.


Caesura is usually used with some type of punctuation (period, comma, etc.)

A caesura is a pause in a line of poetry, typically indicated by punctuation, creating a break in the flow. Enjambment is when a sentence or phrase runs over from one line to the next without a pause, creating a smooth continuation of thought. Essentially, caesura creates a distinct break, while enjambment carries the reader seamlessly from one line to the next.
