Stanza
A stanza is a poem or portion of a poem. Each stanza is a certain number of lines.
Stanzas are set apart from each other by spaces above and below. They are used for
the same purpose as paragraphs in prose.
Quatrain
A quatrain is a stanza of four lines.
Couplet
A couplet is two lines of verse, usually in the same meter and joined by rhyme, that form
a unit.
Rhyme
Two or more words which contain matching sounds: for example, "ball" and "fall."
Typically the sounds that match are at the end of the word.
Internal rhyme
An internal rhyme is words that rhyme in the same line ("I found the ground at last") or
in the middle of lines ("The tree that held me / So free and high").
Rhyme scheme
The pattern in which words in a poem rhyme. The rhyme schemes are distinguished by
letters, like ABAB, AABB, or AAAC. Each letter is associated with a word's sound. When
that sound is repeated, that same letter represents the same sound.
Rhythm
The cadence, or beat, of poetry. Rhythm is created by putting stress on some syllables
but not others in a line (da-DA da-DA da-DA).
Meter
A rhythmic pattern (usually in formal poems)
Alliteration

connected words
