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 or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or verses. In the first poem, "As I lie" is repeated at the start of two lines, which is an example of anaphora. The second poem does not have such a repetition at the beginning of successive lines.
