Word of the week homework: Diacope (08/10/15)

I used my own idea for this word. I found a poem written in diacopes by Leo Marks. It's called ''The Life That I Have":

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours.
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause.
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

  1. Hi Ona,

    According to the definition of 'diacope' I am not quite convinced this is an example of 'diacope' as it looks like a sandwich, e.g. Bond, James Bond. Are ALL the bits you have highlighted 'diacope'? Have a not look...
