Stanza

Stanza: A group of words from a part of a poem. Often, stanzas in a poem have the same patterns, follows the same rythm and length.


Example:
Teachers
Paint their minds
and guide their thoughts
Share their achievments
and Advice their faults


Significance: Stanzas give readers a rest and think about what they just read. It also lets the readers know the rhythm of the poem, where to stop and keep reading. It gives the readers time to find out the message of the stanza since every stanza holds a message or a meaning.
