Detailed explanation-1: -Terza rima is a verse form composed of iambic tercets (three-line groupings). The rhyme scheme for this form of poetry is “aba bcb cdc, etc.” The second line of each tercet sets the rhyme for the following tercet, and thus supplying the verse with a common thread, a way to link the stanzas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Terza rima is a rhyme scheme that uses tercets, or three-line stanzas, and a pattern of interlocking end rhymes, rhymes that occur at the ends of lines. This interlocking pattern is often describing using the following letters: aba bcb cdc ded and so on.
Detailed explanation-3: -Those who have written in terza rima usually employ near and slant rhymes, as the English language, though syntactically quite versatile, is rhyme poor. “The Yachts” by William Carlos Williams and “Acquainted with the Night” by Robert Frost are two examples.
Detailed explanation-4: -Terza rima was invented early in the fourteenth century by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri for his narrative poem the Divine Comedy, which he set in hendecasyllabic lines.
Detailed explanation-5: -Chain rhyme also known as “chain verse or interlocking rhyme” is a type of poetic technique where the poet uses the last syllable of a line and repeats it as the first syllable of the line following.
