What is a "strophe"?
A strophe is a group of lines in a poem, often forming a distinct section that contributes to the overall structure and rhythm. Traditionally, the term is associated with ancient Greek choral poetry, where it referred to one part of a choral ode. In modern poetry, a strophe can represent any stanza or division within a poem that serves to develop a particular idea or theme. Strophes may vary in length and structure, and their arrangement can enhance the musicality and emotional impact of the poem, guiding the reader through its progression.
