The Terza Rima is a form that originated in Italy. It consists of an indeterminate number of tercets, rhyming aba, where the b line of any verse sets the rhyme for the first and last lines of the next tercet. The form may end with a couplet or, more usually, with a single line. This line or couplet must rhyme with the preceding tercet's second line. In English normally written in iambic tetrameter or pentameter but this is not mandatory.
