Stanza

Stanza:
A set of lines in a poem. There are many types of stanza. The type of stanza depends on the number of lines in each stanza.

Usage:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Importance:
I think that stanza is very important because it makes the poem easier to read. For example, if you read a poem and then you want to look back at something, the stanza help you to find it easier. Finally, I also think that the type of stanza varies depending on the message of the poem, or the rhythm. Therefore, stanza might help the reader understanding the message of the poem or help the rhythm sound better.
