In poetry, a stanza is a division of four or more lines having a fixed length, meter or rhyming scheme. Stanzas in poetry are similar to paragraphs in prose. Both stanzas and paragraphs include connected thoughts and are set off by a space.

The pattern of a stanza is determined by the number of feet in each line and by its metrical or rhyming scheme.
