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: -An Italian stanzaic form, used most notably by Dante Alighieri in Commedia (The Divine Comedy), consisting of tercets with interwoven rhymes (ABA BCB DED EFE, and so on). A concluding couplet rhymes with the penultimate line of the last tercet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Petrarchan sonnet, perfected by the Italian poet Petrarch, divides the 14 lines into two sections: an eight-line stanza (octave) rhyming ABBAABBA, and a six-line stanza (sestet) rhyming CDCDCD or CDECDE.
Detailed explanation-4: -A variation on the ABAB rhyme scheme is the ABCB rhyme scheme, where the second line rhymes with the fourth line, but the first and third lines do not have to rhyme.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lines that end with a rhyme are labeled with the same letter. In an ABAB rhyme scheme, the first and third line end with rhyming words (A) and the second and fourth lines end with different rhyming words (B). The rhyme scheme is determined by the last word of each line.
