In poems how easy to confuse,
and fairly often to misuse,
the meaning of the term verse.
To think of a verse as a line
is a proper way to define
what makes up the whole stanza.
A stanza is, at its core,
made up of two or more
of a line we call a verse.

Verse has two meanings when one applies it to a poem. A single line can be called a verse. When we talk about blank verse, each line of the poem is a verse. (Verse comes from a Latin word meaning 'to turn a corner': in poetry the lines turn a corner each time they end and you begin with a fresh capital letter). But a verse can also mean a 'stanza': a group of lines held together with a rime. O what can ail thee Knight at arms Alone and palely loitering? The sedge is withered from the lake And no birds sing. The rimes here bind four lines together into a verse of four lines (a quatrain). Because of this ambiguity, most poets (and the best critics) say 'stanza' when they mean 'group of lines' and 'line' when they mean 'single line'.
