What is an verse?

In poetry, a verse is a group of lines that form a unit. Verses are typically separated from each other by a line break. The term "verse" can also be used to refer to a single line of poetry, especially in the context of free verse poetry.

In music, a verse is a section of a song that typically contains the main lyrics. Verses are usually followed by a chorus, which is a repeating section that contains a catchy melody or hook. Songs can have multiple verses, and the lyrics in each verse may tell a different part of the story or explore a different theme.

In drama, a verse is a speech that is written in poetry. Verse drama is a type of theater that uses poetic language and structure to tell a story. Verse dramas were popular in the Elizabethan era, and many of Shakespeare's plays are written in verse.
