"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep." - Robert Frost, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
A stanza.
That kind of poetry is called free verse.
Yes, that's correct. "Verse" is often used interchangeably with "poetry" to refer to lines of writing that are typically arranged in a rhythmic pattern with a specific meter or structure.
This is called "free verse" and resembles ungrammatical prose that has been broken into lines. It is designed, as is rhymed poetry, to impart meaning by the arrangement of words and concepts.
poetry that is written in unrhymed iambic pentameter lines of ten syllables
A line. Ex: lines 1 through 4 uses internal rhyme
it is either called a paragraph or verse.
"Verse", the individual line format of poems, is used most often in poetry. In fact, if the work is not in verse format, it isn't even poetry. One problem with this answer though is that it is a tautology. It is like saying "poetry is used most often in poetry." Not very helpful. So another answer could be "meter." Meter is the rhythmic inflection of stressed and unstressed syllables of the words in each line of verse. Not all poetry has meter though. Some poems have lines written without a specific metric format. This is called "free verse." Note that even lines of a poem that have no meter are still called "verse." "Rhyme schemes" are a distant third. Poems need not rhyme to be considered poetry.
Some common subtypes of poetry include sonnets, haiku, limericks, and free verse. Sonnets consist of 14 lines with a specific rhyme scheme, while haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry with three lines and a 5-7-5 syllable structure. Limericks are humorous poems with a specific rhyming pattern, and free verse does not follow a specific meter or rhyme scheme.
"Eating Poetry" by Mark Strand is written in free verse. Free verse is a form of poetry that does not follow a specific rhyme scheme or meter, giving the poet more flexibility in their expression.
Free form and free verse.
It has 4 lines.. well to create a sufficient piece of short work well, you could possibly do about 4 to 5 line. ___ Actually, there is no set number. A short poem could conceivably be a single line and still be a poem, although 2 lines might make it clearer that it isn't an attempt at a sentence. :)
A two-line stanza in poetry is called a couplet. It is often used to convey a complete thought or idea within a short span of lines.
