A poem is composed of several parts, including VERSES, stanzas, LINES, RHYMES, and staves. VERSES are a group of LINES that form a unit within a poem, usually separated from other units by a space or punctuation. Stanzas are a group of VERSES that form a larger unit within a poem, often with a specific rhyme scheme or meter. LINES are the individual units of a poem, typically consisting of one or more feet of syllables. RHYMES are words that have similar sounds at the end of their LINES. Staves are the musical notation used to indicate the pitch and rhythm of a song.
