English term or phrase: stanza
Definition from Infoplease:
Two or more lines of poetry that together form one of the divisions of a poem. The stanzas of a poem are usually of the same length and follow the same pattern of meter and rhyme.

Example sentence(s):
  • Stanzas provide structure and format within a poem. In many ways they are the equivalent of a paragraph in a prose work. The use of stanzas can make a poem more visually appealing, and give the poem a means of division. Even poems without rhyme or meter will gain structure from the use of stanzas. PoeWar
  • A sestina is usually an unrhymed poem consisting of six stanzas made up of six lines each. The sestina employs word repetition rather than rhyme. The last word of each line in the first stanza is repeated in a different order in the following five stanzas. Poets’ Graves
  • The type of stanza in a poem may be determined by counting the number of lines in the stanza. In English, for example, the most common type of stanza is the quatrain, or four line stanza. everything2

khổ thơ


Definition from own experience or research:
một hoặc nhiều dòng tạo thành một phần, một khổ của bài thơ. các khổ thơ của một bài thơ thường có cùng độ dài và theo một khuôn nhịp nhất định để tạo thành vần điệu của bài thơ

Example sentence(s):
  • các khổ thơ tạo nên cấu trúc của bài thơ. theo nhiều cách hiểu khác nhau, đoạn thơ/khổ thơ có thể được coi như là một đoạn trong một tác phẩm văn xuôi. việc sử dụng các đoạn thơ có thể làm tăng tính hấp dẫn của bài thơ và cho bài thơ phương tiện để chia tách. thậm chí với bài thơ không chứa vần điệu, ta vẫn có thể nhận ra cấu trúc của bài thơ thông qua các khổ thơ - http://www.poewar.com/what-is-a-stanza/
