Question

A repetition poem is a poem that repeats a word, phrase, line, or stanza. Repetition is used to emphasize a theme or idea within a piece of writing. The words or phrases of your poem that you wish to repeat may start each line of your poem or they may end each line of your poem. Lines of poems that you wish to repeat may be mixed randomly throughout your poem, they may be grouped together, or they may be part of a pattern (every other line or every third line, etc.). Stanzas that you wish to repeat many functions like the chorus, bridge, or refrain of a song.
