Repetition
  • Repeating a word or words for effect.
  • Example
  • When you, my Dear, are away, away, How wearily
    goes the creeping day.

Rhythm
  • When words are arranged in such a way that they
    make a pattern or beat.
  • Example
  • There once was a girl from Chicago
  • Who dyed her hair pink in the bathtub
  • I own a solace shut within my heart,
  • A garden full of many a quaint delight
  • Hint hum the words instead of saying them.

  • Happens at the beginning, end, or middle of
    lines.
  • Examples

  • Fair
  • Air
  • Bear
  • Glare

  • Example
  • Peter Piper picked a pickled pepper.
  • Slim-pinioned swallows sweep and pass
