Carl Sandburg, like many other poets, uses repetition to emphasize ideas and to clarify meaning. Repetition is the act of repeating something that has already been written or said. In both Sandburg’s poems “Chicago” and “Grass” he manages to use many different forms of repetition.

Repetition is often used weather this be to make the poem sound monotonous when read such

The repetition in the poem would be the word gold. Gold was the repetition because of how that word keeps repeating itself. It was once used in the first verse then put into the last one. Therefore having it be represented as the repetition in this poem.

Starting from line three, the rhyme pattern incorporates every 3 lines, with the first and third rhyme while the second does not. However, an exception to that pattern is the rhyme of 1-3-5. As a result,

The repetition that I used was in the poem, “Rainforest Meets the Sea”. At the end of the poem, I repeated the phrase, “rainforest meets the sea” three times. I wanted to show the importance of that phrase to the readers. Costa Rica is known for having the rainforest and the ocean right next to each other, so I thought that I should repeat that certain phrase. This phrase also repeats the main subject of the poem without repeating “Costa Rica” over and over again.

In terms of lineation, the lines don’t rhyme, nor do they have any particular rhythm. “A Yield” by Albert Goldbarth is a philosophical argument that states that big, seemingly important things are not good enough as a distraction from death, pain, and loss, while small, insignificant

The poem is comprised of six stanzas, each having four lines, which suggests that each stanza has a short idea that supports and leads to the underlying theme of the poem. The length of the lines are very short and choppy as complete ideas or “sentences” get separated into multiple lines. As for syllables within each line, the poem contains a pattern that switches from eight syllables in one line, six syllables in the next, back to eight syllables in the next line,and so on. Throughout the poem, the first word of each line is capitalized as well as each noun which can slow the reader down, making them pause to consider the significance of the words rather than reading past it and breezing through the poem. Dashes are commonly used throughout the poem and are at the end of almost every line. Like the capitalizations, the dashes can make the reader pause and usher on to the next line. They can also be seen as connectors or even as strings, pulling you through the poem. The particular rhyme scheme is best described as ABCB, which is a set of four line stanzas in which the second and fourth lines rhyme. Not only does the rhyme tie the poem together, but it draws attention to some important words such as, "immortality.” However, Dickinson doesn’t strictly use exact rhyme in this poem. In fact, only the first and fifth stanzas rhyme in the ABCB scheme. For example, the lines in the fourth stanza which end in "chill" and "tulle". While these words do not exactly rhyme, the similarity in the 'l' sounds carry a near or slight rhyme,

"Because tonight you are in my hair and eyes,/ And every street light that our taxi passes shows me you again,/ still you,/ And because tonight all other nights are black, all other hours are/ cold and far away, and now, this minute, the stars are very/ near and bright"(22-27).

At first glance, one might not be able to see the rhyme scheme, seeing as there are more repeated words than actual rhymes. The writer still achieved the same effect of rhyming words because the same words produce the same sound, similar to rhyming words. Lines one through four alternate between having the word you and the word be at the end of each line. There’s an

This allows the reader to slow down and not to speed up like people usually do in poems that rhyme. When you read his poem it almost makes you want to slow down and read it in a calm voice, to make you think about each and every word he wrote.

In form the two poems are identical: each consists of four stanzas of eight lines each. The rhyming patter does differ though each does have a pattern.

The last word in the first line of his poem rhymes with the last word of the fourth line. And the last word of the very next line rhymes with the last word of the eighth line, which is the same interval of lines between the first and fourth lines. This pattern continues throughout the poem, and the lines that are in the middle of these intervals, also have their last words rhyming with each other. In conclusion,
