Wikipedia definition
1. Verse (poetry)A verse is formally a single metrical line in a poetic composition. However, verse has come to represent any division or grouping of words in a poetic composition, which groupings traditionally having been referred to as stanzas. The word "verse" is commonly used in lieu of "poetry" to distinguish it from prose. Where the common unit of poetry, that is, verse, is based on meter or rhyme, the common unit of prose is purely grammatical, such as a sentence or paragraph.
