Repetition

Repetition
Definition: Using the same phrase or word over and over again; usually in the same position of a stanza in poetry.

Example: In the poem "If" the word 'if' is repeated, and more specifically, the phrase 'If you can.'

Significance: Repetition can cause a sense of rhythm or importance in the phrase. It can almost be comforting to some because they hear the same, obviously significant phrase multiple times.
