Repetition Poem by Paul Butters

Repetition

Rating: 4.5


Repetition is the best petition.
Drive that refrain into your brain.
It's my mission.
Driven on by Stewart Copeland the musician.
Drums and dance
Send me into a trance.
Transcendental music
Any way you choose it.

Repetition, repetition, repetition
Just as potent as nuclear fission.
Sometimes, for me, it's just too much.
As crazy as Screaming Lord Sutch.
Yet here I make a telling submission
About the power of repetition
As beautiful as a painting by Titian.
A composition to appeal to your cognition
To get you into a better condition
Without transition.

There are four hundred and ninety rhymes
Of repetition
And that's not something from superstition.
But I'd better avoid a war of attrition
Even with your kindly permission.
It's great to prance
And have a dance.
I'm glad you've given
This poem a glance
To give its rhythms every chance.
My aim is to enhance
And cut through the boredom like a lance.

Poems are music
Poems are Romance
So let's advance
Then make a stance.
That's my position.

Repetition, repetition, repetition Just as potent as nuclear fission. Amplification repeats a word or expression for emphasis, often using additional adjectives to clarify the meaning. well done for this amazing poem it deserves 10++
