Wjames, thank you for your comments.
I have often used repetition for emphasis. The emphasis in itself elevates the intensity of what's being said. I see a huge difference between "the strictest interpreter" and "the strictest of the strict interpreters". It's like the difference between "greater" and "greatest", or "extreme" and "over the top". But if you don't share that point of view, I can respect that.
I'm a writer who takes my rhythms and rhymes as they present themselves. As a result, my lines sometimes sound both chaotic and harmonious at the same time. There are more internal rhymes than end-rhymes. To show you what I'm talking about, the next poem I post will be one of those poems in which the lines seem scrambled, yet I manage to rhyme every other line and keep a loose but reasonable meter. I feel like I should wait a couple days, though. I don't want to overwhelm the forum with my stuff.
