I really liked what you said about stanzas. I noticed you use couplets frequently. I think I might need to try this. for example
"lifting the veil to see
my face."
running into the next stanza, not just the next line. I see you doing this a lot. I wonder what the difference is between running into the next stanza versus running into the next line. I can see that couplets work really well in Bride, but wonder if there is any more rhyme or reason to other decisions you've made about couplets versus quatrain for example. This can be a rhetorical question!
I have also heard Stanza translated to “song,” which reminds me that both structure (room) and sound (song) are where I go when ready to revise or polish a poem.
