A stanza is called the segments into which a poem is divided, each composed of
one for severalversesEquivalent, more or less, to the paragraphs of prose:
medium structural units, which are made up of several propositions in
I return to a common axis of meaning or significance.
In other words, a stanza is nothing more than a variable set of verses.
separated from other similar sets by some punctuation mark and/or a
space in thepoem.
Concept of Verse
A verse is a unit that is divided intopoem, larger in size than the foot, but
inferior to the verse. Detail a poetic and rhythmic image within the body of
poem, and in classical or traditional poetry they were usually linked with the others of the
stanza through rhyme, that is, the phonetic repetition of its last syllable or
last letter.
Definition of Lyre
The lira is astanzaof Italian origin. It consists of five verses that
they rhyme in consonance. Two of these verses are eleven syllables (major art) and three
heptasyllables (minor art). The following scheme is aBabB. That is, the second
and the fifth verse is hendecasyllabic and the rest are heptasyllabic. Like other forms
metrics of Italian origin, the lira began to be used in Spanish thanks
aGarcilaso(yJuan BoscánIn fact, it takes its name from the first verse of one of
his poems: Ode to the flower of Gnidi (see first example). Its introduction, in the century
XVI, led to a more condensed poetry. During theRenaissanceit was very
popular; we find it, for example, in the work ofSaint John of the Crossand ofFray
Luis de León. In theBaroquethis popularity declined, but it is rising again with
strength in theRomanticism.
Definition of Stay
It is a stanza that is composed of more than six eleven-syllable verses and
seven-syllable verses that rhyme according to the poet's will and repeat their structure
throughout thepoem.
Definition of Silva
The silva is a poem that combines heptasyllabic and undecasyllabic verses in a
asymmetrical structure and of indeterminate extension. The silva is preferentially used
a consonant rhyme arranged freely and with loose verses. The note
A characteristic of the silva is precisely its irregularity (in its beginning it sought
remove the stanza), so in more recent times, especially from
modernist poets, the poets have experimented with assonant rhyme and even
with verses of different measures.
Differences
Stanza composed of an indeterminate combination of eleven-syllable lines and
heptasyllables. Unlike the stanzas and the lyre, the silvan has a
strophic arrangement.
Concept of Sinalefa
The synalepha is a poetic figure that is formed in verses when it is grouped in
a single syllable, the last syllable of a word that ends in a vowel with the
next word that begins with a vowel or 'h'. This way, the number is reduced
of syllables in the verse and fits the poem's meter. It can occur between two or
three words. It is important to note that there are cases where it does not occur. This
it happens when the words are separated by pauses (it could be a comma) or when
the initial word ends in accented vowels.
Examples
- Margarita is the undeniable pearl of the Caribbean.
- He heard her cry all night.
- Women of the past dressed more modestly.
- The baker made large wedding cakes.
- The thorn injured his innocent finger.
Concept of Synæresis
It is a linguistic-metric resource that facilitates the union of two vowels in a
only sound within the same word, even though these form a
hiatus. To achieve this effect, it is necessary for the person declaiming or reciting
lower the intensity of the voice right on the weak vowel of the word,
transforming the hiatus into an 'artificial diphthong'.
Examples
Mediterranean: this word, if the author so decides, can present
synaeresis in the two syllables "neo", forming a single syllabic block. It is
common that rhymes with words like 'contemporary' and that last one
the same application is given.
