Anaphora: The term "anaphora" is a type of parallelism created when successive phrases or lines begin with the same words. The repetition can be as simple as a single word or as long as an entire phrase. It is one of the world’s oldest poetic techniques used in many of the world’s religious and devotional poetry, including numerous Biblical Psalms. Elizabethan and Romantic poets were masters of anaphora, as evident in the writings of William Shakespeare, Sir Philip Sidney, and Edmund Spenser. Shakespeare frequently used anaphora, in both his plays and poems. Mid-life crisis I am an opportunity I am a celebration I am a choice I am a gift I am immensely powerful I am a responsibility I am a metamorphosis I am a crisis Welcome me, go now Be transformed. Anaphora creates a driving rhythm by the recurrence of the same sound and can intensify the emotion of the poem. Written by: Tracy Lynn Repchuk Go here to post your lesson results |
