A list poem repeats a significant phrase or line throughout the poem. It is generally used in Slam and performance poetry. The use of REPETITION or (REFRAIN) is a poetic device poets and writers use to stress an important idea in a poem. In music this would be the refrain or chorus. It works the same way. Each time the phrase is repeated, it gains strength and stresses the point.
In PROSE (and poetry) writing, a repeated phrase in the beginning of a sentence is called an anaphora. At the end of the phrase or sentence it is called: epistrophe. And when it is used at the end and then again at the beginning of a sentence it is called Anadiplosis.

LAB WORK: Choose a line. Any line. Use this line as an anchor, a repetition of idea or theme.
