The act of repeating.
Example:
(excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's "If")
"If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:."
From this excerpt, you can see the repetition of the phrase "If you can..." The repetition creates a mood to the poem, that the phrase has some significance in the poem's message.
Significance:
The significance of repetition is poetry is the certain mood that it creates for the reader. It shows what is important in the poem, for it is repeated, and that shows significance.
