Tools of the trade: Epizeuxis
by Dave Author IconMail Icon
Epizeuxis is a literary device wherein a word is repeated in immediate succession, as described and demonstrated in the following link: https://www.litcharts.com/literary-devices-and-terms/epizeuxis .

This device is very useful for emphasis, as applied in a popular beer commercial ( https://www.nbcsports.com/video/super-bowl-bud-light-dilly-dilly-part-i ) and can also be used to generate rhythm, as clearly demonstrated in the Everly Brothers' hit song All I Have To Do Is Dream   or the original "dilly dilly" song Lavender Blue   .

Your assignment: Write a poem about some holiday experience or impression using the Epizeuxis technique.

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*
