Hello there!

The answer you are looking for is - Stanzas or verses

ex)

Robert Frost - Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
some say ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire. - Verse
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
to say that for destruction ice,
Is also great,
and would suffice.

The whole thing is a stanza.

Hope this helps you, have a great day!

Hey there!

The poem version of "paragraphs" are stanzas. For example, if this were my poem:

My car is very shiny (first stanza)

I drive it every day (second stanza)

If it gets hurt (third stanza)

I will throw it away (fourth stanza)

It's almost like an essay composed of paragraphs, but a poem is much shorter and it's, therefore, a poem composed of stanzas.

Hope this helps!
