Strophe

STROPHE

–noun
1. the part of an ancient Greek choral ode sung by the chorus when moving from right to left.
2. the movement performed by the chorus during the singing of this part.
3. the first of the three series of lines forming the divisions of each section of a Pindaric ode.
4. (in modern poetry) any separate section or extended movement in a poem, distinguished from a stanza in that it does not follow a regularly repeated pattern.





















I try to put it in words
Arranging the strophes
In hope for solace.

But no matter how much
I try to water my pain
It still blossoms
With each passing hour.
