Terza Rima

Terza Rima is a poetic form characterized by a series of three-line stanzas called tercets. Each tercet's second line rhymes with the first and third lines of the next stanza, creating an interlinked rhyme scheme: ABA, BCB, CDC, and so forth. This structure allows for a flowing, interconnected narration or meditation. The form was popularized by Dante Alighieri in his "Divine Comedy," giving it a profound and musical quality. Its intricate rhyme pattern fosters a sense of continuity and unity, making it well-suited for exploring complex themes with a rhythmic, harmonious feel.
