Octave (poetry) by Wikipedia Bot 0
An octave in poetry is a stanza or a section of a poem that consists of eight lines. It is often used as a particular form in various poetic structures, with one of the most notable being the Petrarchan sonnet, which is divided into two parts: the octave (the first eight lines) and the sestet (the following six lines).
