a grouping of lines within a poem. A group of two lines is called a couplet. A three line stanza is called a tercet. A four line stanza is a quatrain, and a five line stanza is a quintet. Two other common lengths are a sestet, six lines; and an octave, eight lines.
a group of lines set apart from the other groups of lines by spacing and usually consisting of a fixed number or a pattern of lines. Most stanzas are also distinguished by a rhyme scheme or meter. The most common rhyme schemes are those for the ballad where the second and fourth lines rhyme in the ABCB pattern. For a couplet (sequence of two rhymed lines) the rhyme scheme would be AABBCC if a stanza consisted of three couplets. See sonnet for the third common type of stanza rhyme.
Four or more rhymed lines repeated as a unit
(vul. L. stantia 'standing'; ΒΈ`): Any grouping of lines in a separate unit in a poem; sometimes called a verse.
A group of lines forming a unit in a poem. Many stanzas have a fixed pattern-that is, the same number of lines and the same rhyme scheme." A stanza may be as short as the couplet, two rhyming lines. A favorite form of many English poets has been the heroic couplet, two rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. The triplet is a stanza of three lines often with one rhyme. The quatrain is a four line stanza with many patterns of rhyme and rhythm. In ballads, the second and fourth lines are usually rhymed while the first and third lines are unrhymed.

A group of lines which form a division of a poem. Stanzas are usually set off from one another by a space. The distinguishing characteristics of stanzas are the number of lines, the number of feet in each line and the rhyme scheme. However, some unrhymed poems are divided into stanzas. For some definitions of some of the most common forms of stanzas see: ALEXANDRINE, BALLAD STANZA, OTTAVA RIMA, RHYME ROYAL, SPENSARIAN STANZA, TERZA RIMA, Also see stanzas with no official names that are designated by the number of lines: TRIPLET, QUATRAIN, QUINTET, SESTET
A verse or set of lines of poetry, the pattern of which is repeated throughout the poem

a group of poetic lines, often repeated according to a fixed pattern throughout a poem.
One or more lines that make up the basic units of a poem - separated from each other by spacing. Over the centuries Greek, Roman, French, Italian, English, German and Japanese poets have evolved a huge number of different stanza forms. Some of these forms still carry the name of the poet who invented them e.g. the Petrarchan sonnet, the Spenserian Stanza or the Burns Stanza. Stanza forms can also be classified by the number of lines they employ e.g. the couplet, the triplet, the quatrain etc.
