When separate parts of a sentence or stanza are balanced by using similar constructions

Parallelism refers to the repetition of a grammatical form within a sentence; it uses word, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, sound, or meter, with the purpose of showing that the stated ideas are equally important, are balanced and to give a natural flow to the piece of writing.
