Well, it depends on what kind of verse you are talking about. One definition of verse is a line of poetry. Using that definition, then no. A stanza is a group of lines, not just one.

If you mean a verse of a song, then it could be, but it often is not. A stanza is a group of lines in a poem. Translating a poem into a song sometimes works out so that a stanza is one verse, but sometimes it is two stanzas per verse, or even more.

Yes, they both meen the same thing --no they dont mean the same thing, a verse is just one line, a stanze is sort of like a paragraph of a poem

a.) Verse - A sequence of words arranged metrically according to some system of design; a single line of poetry.

b.) Stanza - A group of lines of verse forming one of the divisions of a poem or song. It is typically made of four or more lines of verse and typically has a regular pattern in the number of lines and the arrangement of meter and rhyme.

A stanza is a verse in a poem, equivalent to a paragraph in a piece of literary prose.
