Repetition

Definition:
Usage of the same word or phrase
multiple times.

Example:

We listened to the gun fire beyond the walls.

We listened to the walls being hit by shrapnel,

ricochets, and blind fire, at least it's what I

thought it could of been. We listened to the

creaking the windows made when they opened

and shut due to the wind from the outside.

We listened to the cries of our men, and the

prayers they made to their gods. We listened,

but said nothing.

Significance:
Repetition allows poetry to show emphasis
for a certain idea.
