Anaphora

Anaphora consists of repeating a sequence of words  at the beginnings of neighboring clauses , thereby lending tham emphasis.

In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the clauses' ends.

Anaphora is most commonly found in poetry , though it can be found in prose as well.
