Amen, amen, amen
amen once again
such a harsh word
it is difficult for my fingers to even type it
thank you for putting it all into words here
language meister
between a stanza and a strophe (I think I read this recently), but I'm with you--"strophe" sounds too pc to me. I think I'll stop using it. :)
Strophe me strophe me
give me the business all night long
Strophe me strophe me
Strophe! Strpohe!
I just strophed myself good. I strophed my way through several comments before I got to your anti-strophing blasphemy.
STROPHE and PEACE,
WE
Did a little checking and they're not wholly interchangeable. In fact the simplest word normally used has been stanza; but it usually seems to be associated with rhythmic and rhyming poems. Perhaps it's with the prose and free verse that strophe came into its own.
While strophe has a more intellectal sound to me ~ I much prefer stanza. Just a personal preference.
