Anaphora

My last example of Anaphora is as follows:

"Sally is a hippie girl one day
Sally is a rock chick the next
Sally is a hip hop lady and a drip drop lady..."

Shwayze, "Sally is a...", 2009

The italicized words Sally is a demostrates the anaphora in this example.

Anaphora

Another example of anaphora is:

"Mad World!
Mad Kings!
Mad Composition!"

William Shakespeare, King John, II, ii

The italicized word mad demonstrates the anaphora in this example.

Example of Anaphora

Here is an example of an Anaphora:

"Anaphora will repeat an opening phrase or word;
Anaphora will pour it into a mould (absurd)!
Anaphora will cast each subsequent opening;
Anaphora will last until it's tiring."
(John Hollander, Rhyme's Reason: A Guide to English Verse. Yale Univ. Press, 1989)

The italicized words demostrate the anaphora (also ironic).
