Definition: An arrangement of a certain number of lines, usually four or more, sometimes haveing a fixed a fixed lenght, meter, or ryhme scheme, forming a division of a poem.
Example:
Join me now in seeing the beautiful playing of the beings all around us,
Expressing sharing the biosphere of earth with us,
Dolphins frolicking, dashing spray at sea,
Squirrels with their tails flowing, leaping tree to tree:
An elk stag bugling, sounding his love call,
Peregrine falcons mating in free fall;
A timber wolf cocking her head quizzically,
Tiger cubs cuffing, sprawling clumsily;
Penguins popping up on the ice flow,
Humming birds hovering, darting to and fro;
Baboons staging theater-in-the-round,
A rockin ol' bull walrus, makin' his walrus sound;
A big dog bounding high to catch a frisbee,
Kittens with their tiny claws having an unquilting bee;
Thoroughbreds at the gate, tossing their heads a prancing,
Elephants trumpeting, in the jungle dancing;
Otters sliding down the mud slide,
A white whale sounding, breaching high an' wide.
Significance: Stanza sepereates the meaning of the things the poet is trying to say.
