Stanza ©


DEFINITION
A paragraph in a poem

EXAMPLE
Lover of my soul never let me go
hold me in your summer hands and
whisper away the chills of the past,
let your love be my guide.


Lover of my soul lock me in your kiss
awake the world I live in whilst you
shroud me with springs beauty and smile,
vanquishing all the storms of strife.

SIGNIFICANT
A stanza helps us to recognize when the poem is turning to a new idea. With stanza, the reader can stop and can get the chance to cut a poem into smaller pieces so that it's easier to understand.
