What is a "stanza"?

A stanza is a grouped set of lines in a poem, often separated from other stanzas by a blank line.

The arrangement of stanzas contributes to the overall flow and visual presentation of a poem, helping to guide the reader's experience and enhance the thematic elements of the piece.
