Terza rima is a rhyme scheme that consists of tercets, or three-line stanzas, which are interconnected through a specific pattern of rhyme. The rhyme scheme is typically ABA BCB CDC, and so on. In this layout, the second line of each tercet rhymes with the first and third lines of the following tercet, creating a woven effect that links the stanzas together.
