Description

Parison is corresponding structure in a series of clauses.

Example

I have lived and loved across a long life
And I still live for love and long for more life.

He that has saved will be safe.
He that has failed will be a failure.
He that has loved will be loved.

Discussion

Parison can be found across sentences and clauses, where the same word may be found in different forms or nouns, adjectives, verbs and so on may match one another.

Parison creates patterns that stimulate recognition of these and hence attention and, hopefully in certain poetry or prose, some measure of delight.
