Question
choose the poem that uses anaphora.
as i lie roofed in, screened in,
from the pattering rain,
the summer rain—
as i lie
snug and dry,
and hear the birds complain.
a granite cliff on either shore,
a highway poised in air;
above, the wheels of traffic roar,
below, the fleets sail fair.—
and in and out forevermore
the surging tides of ocean pour.
from harriet monroe, \on the porch\ and from edna dean proctor, \the brooklyn bridge\
Anaphora is the repetition of a word/phrase at the start of lines. The first poem repeats "As I lie" at the beginning of the first and fourth lines, which fits this definition. The second poem has no repeated opening phrases.
