The Sapphic stanza is a poetic form derived from the works of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. It is characterized by its specific metrical structure, typically consisting of three lines of eleven syllables followed by a fourth line of five syllables, often referred to as a "Sapphic stanza" or "Sapphic verse." In Polish poetry, the Sapphic stanza has been adopted and adapted by various poets, allowing for artistic expression while maintaining the essence of the meter.
