Division od a poem consisting of two or more lines arranges tpgether as a unit.

Rhyme scheme

It is the pattern of sounds that repeats at the end of a line or stanza. The rhyme scheme ABAB means the first and third lines of a stanza, or the "A"s, rhyme with each other, and the second line rhymes with the fourth line, or the "B"s rhyme together.

Quatrain

Features four lines of verse; it is a series of four poetic lines that make up a verse of a poem known as a stanza

Octave

An eight-line stanza or poem. See ottava rima and triolet.

In the octave of a sonnet, the writer sets out the first part of their poem. These lines are then responded to in the sextt. Between the two there is, in some cases, a vilta.

Sestet

A six-line stanza, it refers only to the final portion of a sonnet, otherwise the six-line stanza is known as a sexain.

Run-on lines /enjambment

It is a poetic term for the continuation of a sentence or phrase from one line of poetry to the next.

indentation

It is the displacement of a textual feature inward from the margin, usually the left margin but sometimes from the right.

Iambic pentameter

It is a line of then syllables or five iambic feet. Each iambic foot is composed of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
