Anaphora
Anaphora: A rhetorical and poetic device that involves the repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or lines. This technique creates emphasis, reinforces themes, and adds rhythm or emotional resonance to the text.
“I came, I saw, I conquered.”
In this famous phrase, the repetition of “I” at the start of each clause is an example of anaphora.
In poetry, anaphora is often used to build momentum and create a lyrical, meditative, or persuasive effect. This repetition emphasizes perseverance and determination, drawing attention to the evolving theme of the lines.
Every
Every day, every night, in every way, I am learning.
Every hope, every dream, in every way, I keep yearning.
Every moment, every trial, in every step, my spirit burning.
Every poem, every section, in every book, pages keep turning.
