Please identify the figures of speech in "Black Monday Lovesong," by A.S.J. Tessimond

In Tessimond's "Black Monday Lovesong," the first figure
of speech is found on the first line. It is repetition, which is the repeated use of a
word or phrase for emphasis, and in this case, the poet wants us to remember "love's
dances." This introduces the "theme" of the poem, that the nature of love is like a
dance.

In
love's dances, in love's
dances...

Repetition is also
seen in the second through the fifth lines, as each sentence begins with "One," giving
us the sense that the speaker is making a list, but we need to remember that the poem
deals with "love's dances," and we should understand that each "description" is a kind
of dance movement (metaphorically, but movement still…just like a
dance), which the speaker has observed of love.

Lines
seven/eight, nine/ten, and eleven/twelve all begin with the joining of the same two
words beginning the lines with those repeated pairs, which are "One" and "While." This
also is repetition.

In the next stanza, five of the six
lines written begin with "And," which is, again, repetition, joining all these aspects
of "troubled love;" and as the lines speed by, we might get the feeling of the couple,
locked in a lover's embrace, spinning wildly out of control as they attempt to remain in
step with one another.

There is a repetition of sounds,
which we refer to as the poem's rhyme scheme, as we look to words at the end of the
lines. Of the twenty-two lines of the poem, the first twenty are written as rhyming
couplets, or pairs of lines that rhyme with each other. The rhyme scheme is charted as
follows, with letters representing a sound. When the sound changes, so does the letter
that represents the sounds. (They are separated into stanzas, longer than the
traditional four lines.) The rhyme scheme is:

The last two lines sound the same, but that is because they are
repeated, so repetition occurs again in these lines as
well.

The entire poem is an extended metaphor, which
compares love to a dance. What I like so much about the poem is that love is very much
like a dance, and the "movement" indicated with the words mimics
the movement of dancers: one moves forward as the other moves backward. However, in this
case, the movement is caused by the emotions experienced in the "dance of love," and the
last four lines (the poem's true stanza) reflects a "dance
interrupted."
