  • Stanza: A grouped arrangement of a specified number of lines in poetry, often creating structure and thematic divisions.

  • End Rhyme Example 2: "star light, star bright" illustrates simple yet effective end rhyme.
  • End Rhyme Example 3: "while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping" showcases a more complex end rhyme structure.

Additional Examples
