Excellent Anaphoric Quatrains Little Poems : Take and Feel by Treischel

Take me to the river Take me there in the fall Take a look at nature Take time to see it all Feel refreshing crispness Feel Autumn coming through Feel the touching stillness Feel Fall surrounding you Take a walk by water Take in the turning trees Take a son or daughter Take comfort in the breeze Feel the awesome wonder Feel seasonal delights Feel the peace you're under Feel oneness with the sights Author Notes A walk down by the Mississippi river presented this autumnal scene that spoke to my Muse. Here is the poem that resulted from that experience. This poem is Anaphoric. The term "anaphora" comes from the Greek for "a carrying up or back," and refers to a type of parallelism created when successive phrases or lines begin with the same words, often resembling a litany. The repetition can be as simple as a single word or as long as an entire phrase. Not only can anaphora create a driving rhythm by the recurrence of the same sound, it can also intensify the emotion of the poem. This picture was taken by the author at the end of Summit Avenue along the East Mississippi river road on October 21, 2014.
