Repetition

Repetition

It is when the poem repeats words throughout the poem.

Try Try Again

by T. H. Palmer

'Tis a lesson you should heed,
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again;

Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear
Try, try again;

Once or twice, though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try, try again;

If we strive, 'tis no disgrace
Though we do not win the race;
What should you do in the case?
Try, try again

If you find your task is hard,
Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again

All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view:
Try, try again

The significance of repetition is that it restate what the poem is about. The importance of repetition is that it gives a more clearer outlook of the poem. It adds explanation to the poem. It makes it better because it makes it sound better.
