=Poetic Devices & Types of Poems That We Explored=

Repetition
- This is the original explanation I used to think about what repetition means when used in poetry and songs.

by Ms Griffith - This is my short summary of repetition in poetry and my interpretation of how and why Maya Angelou uses it in 'Life Doesn't Frighten Me.' Do you agree with my interpretation? Remember, you don't have to agree. It's nice to be able to share with one another what we get out of poems, songs and other texts that mean something to us.

- a poem that illustrates repetition and is a good example of how poets can create images that play like movies in readers'/listeners' heads.
