Specifically, Stanza Forms are the names given to describe the number of lines in a stanzaic unit. For example, stanzaic units can be formed into couplets (2 lines), tercet (3 lines), quatrains (4 lines), quintets (5 lines), sestet (6 lines), septets (7 lines), and octaves (8 lines).

On the other hand, meter refers to the number of beats or syllables per line of verse. Meter is also the recurring pattern of either stressed or unstressed syllables (syllabic rhythm).
