Stanza
Definition: a group of lines in a piece of poetry put together because they are meant to bea read as one connected idea.
Example:
"What's the big deal?
It's not even real
You may have that feeling
Like your walking on the ceiling
can you look me in the eyes
and tell me your lies
you've said it to every other girl
it makes me want to hurl
one day i'll find the one
he's somewhere over the rising sun
don't waste your time
giving me those silly little rhymes
will it happen today, tomorrow, or next week
the love for you is what I seek
i've said everything I need, i'm done
even though i'm still looking for the one"
~Hannah Horst
(This is an example of a 4-stanza poem.)
Significance: Stanzas are important because they organize ideas into groups of lines that can make a poem easier to comprehend. They are the paragraphs of poetry.
