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.

A repetition poem is like a song,
With a theme that echoes all day long.
The words you use will be key,
To the emotions you want readers to see.

Your repetitious verse can repeat,
A phrase or word, to make it sweet.
At the end of each line it can stay,
Or at the beginning, it's your say.

Group lines together or mix them in,
Make sure they stick, like thickened skin.
Your stanzas can repeat throughout,
Like a chorus that helps your idea to shout.

Repetition in poems can be powerful,
So make it count, don't be dull.
Use it to emphasize what you mean,
In a poem that will make readers come clean.
