Contemporary repeating forms often tend to play with the repetitions more than past examples did. Having lines that can be broken in one or more places by means of punctuation, so that parts of them can be hooked up to preceding or following lines to change the rhythm and meaning, can be one of the qualities that make very effective repetends.
