Understanding Tristichs in Poetry

Tristichs (plural of tristich) are three lines of verse that form a unit or stanza in poetry. The term is derived from the Greek words "tri", meaning three, and "stichos", meaning line. In poetry, tristichs are often used to create a sense of balance and structure, and can be found in various forms of poetry, including sonnets, ballads, and free verse.
