Tyger, Tyger by William Blake is a poem full of wonder and awe. I love the powerful and commanding, yet amazed, feel of the lines. In the poem, Blake asks a tiger what kind of person could have created something as powerful as he. The first and last stanzas are the same, which is an example of repetition. Each stanza has four lines. The first two lines rhyme with each other at the end and the last two rhyme with each other at the end. Both slant and true rhyme is used. He also uses anaphora several times. One example is "what the hammer, what the chain... What the anvil, what dread grasp...".
