"Love" by Mos Def includes two poetic techniques. The two techniques that the song uses are assonance and anaphora. Def uses assonance throughout the song and makes the song have more emphasis and meaning. When Def uses anaphora in the song, it captures of what the song is truly about.
Def uses assonance to keep the song moving and give each line emphasis of why it's in the story.
"Is this the pain of too much tenderness
"Is this the pain of too much tenderness
To make me nod my head in reverence?
Should I visit this place in remembrance?
Or build landmarks here as evidence?"
In this example, Def uses a superb word choice which helps emphasize the meaning and the fluency in this line.
This word choice is used three times throughout the song being included in the beginning, middle, and end.
"I start to think, and then I sink
Into the paper, like I was ink
When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines
I escape, when I finish the rhyme"
In this example from the song, Def repeats this specific wordage to start the song off. When I read the lyrics, this phrase sets up the rest of the song and also how Def became an artist.
