  Writer's Encyclopedia--Letter V   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Verse paragraphs function much as paragraphs function in prose; they are indicated on the page simply by spaces between groups of lines or initial indentation.
Strophe is another word for verse paragraph, particularly for those units that seem to turn away from the subject matter to introduce a new mood or new dimension of thought.
(The stanza is to the verse paragraph or strophe as metered verse is to free verse.) Stanzas usually have a fairly fixed pattern, or formula, in which lines of the same length are repeated in the same sequence, often reinforced by rhyme patterns.

 Base Tag Set for Verse
This base tag set is intended for use when encoding texts which are entirely or predominantly in verse, and for which the elements for encoding verse structure already provided by the core tag set are inadequate.
The tags described in section 6.11.1 Core Tags for Verse include elements for the encoding of verse lines and line groups such as stanzas: these are available for any TEI document, irrespective of the base tag set it uses.
To use this element together with the base tag set for verse, the tag set for segmentation and alignment must also be enabled, by an additional declaration in the document type subset, as further described in section 3.3 Invocation of the TEI DTD.

 Ohr Somayach :: Pesach :: The Malbim Hagaddah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Since this verse is the source for the mitzvah to recount the Exodus and, therefore, the basis for the Haggadah, the compiler of the Haggadah composed its content and order to correspond with the phrases in the verse V'higadita.
The first eight paragraphs, beginning with "Avadim Hayinu" and concluding with "The son who does not know how to ask", were placed at the beginning of the Haggadah to correspond with "V'higadita l'vincha -- And you shall relate to your child", the first phrase of the Source Verse.
The sixth section of the Haggadah begins with the paragraph "L'phichach -- Therefore we are obliged to avow thanks", an introduction to the recital of Hallel, the psalms of praise to God for the miracles of the redemption from Egypt.

 Blank verse in English poetry
Blank verse must not, however, be confused with English “free verse” (“vers libre”; “open form” poetry), which lacks both a rhyme scheme and an identifiable metrical pattern, whereas blank verse has a very specific metrical pattern.
Poems written in blank verse are often divided into “verse paragraphs” of varying lengths, as distinct from stanzas, which usually have regular lengths and are defined by their rhyme scheme and metrical pattern.
Shakespeare is the most notable practitioner of blank verse as a dramatic form, and his plays are, in fact, written predominantly, though not entirely, in blank verse.

 Verse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Verse has two meanings in literary discussions, neither of which is the most familiar use outside English departments.
Although "verse" is used in the real world to name a group of lines in a song (as in "Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Verse, Chorus"), the term "verse" means "single line" when used with poetry.
The other meaning for verse is more general: it's sometimes used of metrical writing of all sorts: in other words, for poetry in general, as distinct from prose.

Somehow we think that just because this little chunk of Scripture has a verse number in front of it, it was meant to be a free-standing unit of thought.
A biblical sentence (verse) is simply a part of a paragraph and develops some aspect of the paragraph’s big idea.

Verse 21 presents a new event in the time sequence which is apparent through this series of paragraphs, and as such it is prominent.
Verse 29, then, would give the final conclusion of this paragraph, "If you are of Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, heirs according to the promise." The final conclusion of the paragraph would be the most prominent and become the theme statement because an explicit conclusion is more prominent than an implicit conclusion.
This paragraph has been separated at the pronoun DTLVOL, which would then be retranslated as "these things." Although there is no grammatical marker at this point, there is a change in focus from the fact of the two sons to the explanation of their significance as representing two covenants.

This verse unit is unified by several means; these means include a thematic relationship of verbs that express a pattern of instruction: "restore" (5), "rose" (10), "instruct" (19), "Illumine...
The size of Milton's verse paragraph is enormous, suggesting a containment of multitudes of meaning, and an ongoing large-scale story.

 Shmuel's Soapbox -- December 12, 1999
See, given the fact that, for two verse paragraphs, the poet within the poem shows a command of what the class would consider to be the writing of good poetry, the class pretty much refused to believe his claims of not being able to write poetry.
So perhaps the questions are what to do with the beginning, and how to revise the all-important verse paragraph in which the poet explains why he can't write that way.
Ditto everything in the following verse paragraph, which had been chosen at random, although I quickly replaced the rather silly "peanut butter in the chocolate" reference with the more interesting "broken back of the wicker chair," while tying everything in that verse paragraph into one scene.

 Second Edition of the ALT
Converting the text from a verse paragraph to a normal paragraph format was a good move.
The reason for this was, when I converted the text from a verse-paragraph format to a regular paragraph formatting, this required changing all of the quotation marks, and I missed quite a few of the needed changes.
With the new paragraph formatting, the ALT is no longer in the format needed for it to be included in software programs.

The remaining verses at the foot of the leaf were revised to form verse paragraph 19 (section 9) in the 1871 version of the poem, which became the fourth unnumbered verse paragraph in section 6 of the 1881 version.
The verses on this leaf were condensed to form the first part of verse paragraph 26 (section 11) in the 1871 version, and in "The Return of the Heroes" they comprised the unnumbered fifth verse paragraph in section 7 of the poem.
These verses were revised to form almost all of verse paragraph 29 (section 12) in the 1871 version, and in 1881 they made up all but one line of the third unnumbered verse pargraph in section 8.

If the first letter of the verse is lower-case, indicating that the verse begins in the middle of a sentence, you can prepend a string to the verse.
If the verse ends with anything besides a period, question mark, or exclamation mark (for example, a comma, semicolon, or dash), the ending punctuation will be replaced with this string.
If a quotation beginning in a previous verse ends in the current verse, an opening quotation mark is added to the beginning of the verse.

Knowing the verse references will help you easily remember verses when you later are given just the reference, and associating a note/topic with the VERSE will help you remember the verse when hearing the note/topic later.

Free verse is just what it says it is - poetry that is written without proper rules about form, rhyme, rhythm, meter, etc. The greatest American writer of free verse is probably Walt Whitman.
His great collection of free verse was titled Leaves of Grass and it was published in 1855.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." It may take you a while to "hear your own drummer," but free verse can be a great way to "get things off your chest" and express what you really feel.

 Robert Burns, Tam O'Shanter, the greatest poem in the world.
The next verse paragraph builds up the storm scene until it reaches the point where the name of the Devil can be introduced.
It is interesting that the change is described without taking a new paragraph, to begin a new paragraph after Tam's shout would be a pause between the shout and the resulting change, whereas the effect of sudden alteration is desired.
Yet it is the only verse narrative of its kind that he wrote, the product (if tradition is to be trusted) of one day's truancy from the work and worries of his farm and his excise duties during one of his most troubled periods.

 Overcoming Verse-Bite Christian Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Not to be left out (or left behind!), the Church has its own version of sound-bite culture: verse-bite culture.
However, by removing verse 22 from its very specific paragraph development, we abstract the language from its tightly reasoned moorings and create a much more general, vague concept — a verse-bite.
Perhaps this is part of the bitter fruit of a verse-bite Christian culture.

 Guidelines for Exegetical Papers (English Bible)
This means including chapter and verse references liberally in the paper, especially when referring to other parts of Scripture (i.e., the equivalent of footnoting when referring to outside works).
In this process, you should carefully examine the surrounding paragraphs and then the surrounding chapters (or, perhaps you might find it easier to reverse the process, going from the larger chapter level to the more immediate paragraph level).
That is, all the main and subsidiary points, including the boundaries of each section, must correspond to the points in the exegetical outline.

 Miall -- "Tintern", Frappied on Loss, 2
I propose a psychological reading of the final verse paragraph of 'Tintern Abbey,' (see: 2, 2a, 2b) and consider 'Elegiac Stanzas, Suggested by a Picture of Peele Castle in a Storm, Painted by Sir George Beaumont' and 'Surprised by joy--impatient as the wind,' and others, as interesting examples of how Wordsworth deals imaginatively with loss.[4]
The only significant action--though it is action only in the sense that William hopes it is something that might happen--in the whole paragraph deals with his reappearance in Dorothy's life after his disappearance from it (see: 3, 3a).
In verse paragraph six, he is telling her that if he dies before she does, her memory of viewing these unchanging entities in nature with him will keep him unchanged (despite the fact that he would be decomposing in the grave) in her memory.
