Stanza
Definition: An arrangement of a specific number of lines forming a division of a poem. A stanza can have a fixed length, meter and rhyme scheme but not necessarily so.
Example :
I Love To Write
(First Stanza)
I love to write
Day and night
What would my heart do
But cry, sigh and be blue
If I could not write
(Second Stanza)
Writing feels good
And I know it should
Who could have knew
That what I do
Is write, write, write
Significance:
Stanzas are like paragraphs in normal prose. Each stanza represents a concept and the spaces between the stanzas are like rest stops, allowing the reader to stop and think about what they have just read.
