| Terza rima follows a pattern in which each verse, or tercet, connects with the following verse through an unfailing rhyme. |
| In poetry, a tercet is a stanza in a poem made up of how many lines? |
| The common form of the sestina has six stanzas of six lines each, with a tercet at the end. |
| His focus in these chapters fixes on Heaney's use and development of the tercet form out of the example given by Dante in The Divine Comedy. |
| The poem's dynamic owes much to the use of the tercet form and the recurrent use of enjambement, driving the reader on from one stanza to the next. |
