Ranking different kinds of repetition is very far from my intention in contributing to this discussion. I think the point should be to expand our understanding of all the different ways that repetition can work in a poem. Repeating poems can be laments, but they can also be witty or joyful or any number of things. I am delighted when I see repetition used in new and surprising ways.
