repetition


 * Definition:**

The duplication, either exact or approximate, of any element of language, such as sound, word, phrase, clause, sentence, or grammatical pattern. When repetition is poorly done, it bores, but when it's well done, it links and emphasizes ideas while allowing the reader the comfort of recognizing something familiar.

Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn....

I looked upon the rotting sea, And drew my eyes away; I looked upon the rotting deck, And there the dead men lay. http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/repetition.html

We real cool. We Left school. We

Lurk late. We Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We Die soon. http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/CraftOfPoetry/repetition.html

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; All the King's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again

--- Lifes Subtle Repetition ---

We wake in a world of half drawn love We wake to feel the stars above We wake to cause ourselves great pain If we cant find our passion’s name

While watching time twist and turn You wonder what your life will earn Your youth is dieing Your life is spying Waiting for its chance to come It hits you with many the tonne Your time begins although it’s already begun All you can do is follow, run and run

We live in a world of half drawn love We live to dream the stars above We live to cause ourselves great pain If we cant find our passion’s name

Dashing, Dosing, Damaging Rushing without purpose This is life this is soul This is how our lives unfolds We have little freedom We have little else Wishing we had done things Others have always felt

We die in a world of half wrote love We die under the stars above We die to relieve ourselves great pain As we cant find our passion’s name
