Which poetic device did Whitman use most often to create rhythmic lists in his poems?

Question

anaphora

metaphor

iambic pentameter

repetition

Answer 1

The poetic device that Walt Whitman used most often to create rhythmic lists in his poems is repetition. Whitman frequently employed repetition to emphasize ideas, create rhythm, and build a sense of continuity in his works. While anaphora (specific type of repetition that involves the initial repetition of words or phrases) is also present in his writing, the broader term "repetition" encompasses all forms of repeated elements in his poetry.
