Stanza

Definition:
Stanza- A stanza is a group of words in a poem that is arranged in a "paragraph" form that is related to one idea of the poem. Stanzas are also created to separate one or more ideas in a poem.

Example:

“Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
- Francis Scott Key




Significance:Stanzas are important in poems to separate blocks of writing in poems to emphasize the importance of an idea in a stanza. They also help separate different meanings in the poem.
