Poetic verse (6)

I believe the answer is:

stanza

'poetic verse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stanza that I've seen before include "Group of lines in a poem, play, etc" , "Group of lines of verse" , "Lines forming a unit of verse" , "Verse of poem" , "Chunk of poetry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Irish Times (Simplex), The Guardian and The Telegraph.
