A natural pause, unmarked by punctuation, introduced into a line by its phrasing or syntax

Question 5

Broken Rhyme

Answer 5

The breaking of a word at the end of a line for the sake of a rhyme. Very rare and used primarily in comedic verse such as satire.

Question 6

Envoy

Answer 6

A conventionalized stanza appearing at the close of certain kinds of poems. Serves to create a conclusion.

Question 7

Sestina

Answer 7

Consists of six six-lined stanzas, and a three-lined envoy. The end words of each line in the first six stanzas are the same, though rearranged based on a specific patter each time. The envoy has three of the end line words with the other three embedded in the lines. One of the most difficult and complex of verse forms.
