Chorus

DEFINITION:

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it is "a company of singers and dancers in Athenian drama participating in or commenting on the action" (“Chorus”).

However, it can also be "a part of a song or hymn recurring at intervals" (“Chorus”).

The same is valid about the poems in literature as can be seen below:

"The car so silent,

Lay curled up on the rug

The fire a blaze

The room so snug.

Purring, purring, 

Quiet and still

Purring, purring

Content from his fill.

He had just eaten 

A dinner of fish

What a treat to have

Filling up his dish.

Purring, purring, 

Quiet and still

Purring, purring

Content from his fill.
