Are there repetitions or patterns in the poem? Are certain words or phrases repeated? Are all the stanzas divided the same way? Give examples and discuss how these conventions add to the effectiveness and enjoyment of the poem.
IN THE poem book, The Owl and The Pussy Cate and many other nonsense Poems by Edward Lear, many of the poems end in almost the same thing. In some of the poems such as There Once was a Little Lady in White and There Was an Old Man in A Marsh, the first sentence and the last sentence end in the same words. This happens in many of his poems.
In general, many poems have repetition and/or patterns in them. It could be that that is how the author creates and generates poems. In a poem called Love is It by Paul LaFalce, he repeats "Love is...." and, then again on that same line. Then the next stanza rhymes with the first stanza. {Alessandra C.} ♥
A poem called "Hiccup!" by Jack Prelutsky has a pattern of random "hiccups." The poem would be normal if not for the sudden "hiccups" tied in with the text."I have the HICCUP HICCUP hiccups,I've had HICCUP them all day." This gives the illusion the whoever is reciting the poem actually has the hiccps. This pattern is used to make the poem funny and more interesting.
Ive read a poem that is called the short willow pattern poem. The pattern is, it starts with the word "Two" and the poem is interchangable because there are only phrases words to use for example,little vessel,little birdies,weeping willow,three men,Chinese castle. And there are differnent versus of the poem, using those and few more words.
In the book Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney there are many patterns, but one that you see the most is at the end of each chapter. At the end of each chapter it tells you how long ago Mitty inhaled the dust of the scabs.
In the poem called "Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too", by Shel Silverstein, the pattern is, after every verse it says said, Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too. This makes the poem really funny beacuse they are such wierd names. It also makes the poem really fun to read because it is like a tounge twister!
In the poem Love by Shel Silverstein there are many patterns. For example in the first 3 lines there are 10 syllables, however in the last line to end the poem there are 11 syllables. Another pattern is, becasue this is only a 4 line poem the first 2 lines rhym and the last 2 lines ryhm.
In the poem book: Poetry for young people by Emily Dickinson, the poemi chose is 7 lines long and repeats only one line. The line that repeats is "If i shall not live in vain." Two other lines in the poem also start with "If I." Repeating lines helps the poem flow better and makes it easier to understand. Repeating ideas also shows the reader the important part of the poem and the most meaningful line. --Katiee R
In the song "Old Macdonald" repeats the same lines in the song every time, it only changes the animal and the nosie it makes. In many songs there is repetition of words or phases, like mostaly in raps or childern/baby songs.
in the book im reading(evil genius) there are many patters such as cadell(genius) making a fool of himself all the time. One of the other patterns you see very frecuently is that every kid in his new school has a problem that the school is trying to fix. But most of the time they fail because it is very hard to access the gene that gives all of them thier "powers."
In many poems there are repetition. Like in many silly poems by Shel Silverstein and all his poetry books. The repetition mite show the poets voice. some artists like to repeat in their songs.
In the book, My Dog is a Carrot, there is one poem called the Emergensea. It's about an octopus that get electrocuted and in the poem I like how it adds octo in front of some of the words (repeating octo) like.... octoshocktopus octolocktopus octosocktopus octodocterpus
in these words you can see the original words like shock, lock, sock, docter.

P.S. if you need to read a poetry book i suggest you read this one. :)
In most poems that you read there are patterns that will repeat throughout the poem to get it stuck in your in head. For instance, in Green Eggs and Ham, it keeps repeating "I do not like green eggs and ham, Sam i am," and it gets stuck in your head.
After reading Shel Silverstein's poems, I have noticed that he uses a pattern with rhyiming two words and then going on to another word. I have also noticed that he changes his tones between poems. I've noticed he changes between funny and happy and disillusioned and confused. Eric F.
In poems, if lines repeat, I think it is because that is the main idea of it. Those lines are the most important lines that the author wants you to have stuck in youer head when you are done reading.
In the poem Blake's Purest Daughter, by Brian Patten, a pattern in it is saying "She'd do as I do" and "No, No, No" repeated throughout the poem, and this makes a very big part of it, showing how he refused to believe that she was dead.
In the book Green Eggs and ham the words green eggs and ham repeat in almost every stanza. I think Dr. Suess did this to emphesize the point that that the character doesn't really like green eggs and ham. Also it gets stuck in your head which increases how enjoyable the book is because you can recite the book without looking at the pages sometimes.

I read a poem by a French poet who was writing about a fountain. The poem was in the shape of a fountain which I thought was great.
