Lesson Summary. A ballad poem is a type of verse composed in ballad form and attributable to an authorial source. The ability to determine definite authorship is the key difference between these poems and the more traditional folk ballads.
(December 2009). In poetry, a Ballad stanza is the four-line stanza, known as a quatrain, most often found in the folk ballad. This form consists of alternating four-and three-stress lines. Usually only the second and fourth lines rhyme (in an a/b/c/b pattern). Assonance in place of rhyme is common. Samuel Taylor Coleridge adopted the ballad stanza in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, alternating eight and six syllable lines.
