Stanza

Definition: A stanza is a paragragh or few lines. Usually about four lines or more. Sometimes having a meter, certain length, or rhythm.

Example: To some power is guns
To some power is knifes
To some power is the ability to read, and write.
To some power is control
To some power is a fist
To some like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. power was words.
To some power is like a trapped animal trying to get out of a cage.
To some power is love
To some power is art
To some power is money
To me power is knowledge
So what is power to you.

This is a single stanza poem.

Significance: If a poem didn't have a stanza or stanzas then it would be confusing. Stanzas help poems separate the poem to make sense. It makes the poem more organized.
