Repitition - Convincing themselves that it happened? Trying to relive it?
Punctuation - syntax is complex - adds pauses and slows down the poem
Meter -
- First line of each stanza - 10 syllables - 5 beats (pentameter) - mostly iambic but also trochees to add emphasis
- 4th line - tetrameter
- 5th line - dimeter
End - each stanza ends in a complete way which brings each paragraph to a conclusion
