Written by

Using Anaphora (phrase repeated at the beginning of successive clauses or lines), write a poem that also works as a speech act, that is, an utterance that performs an action, such as a request, promise or apology, rather than simply conveying information.

For a great example see “Ambidextrous” by Denise Low, Zingara Poetry Review
