Anaphora Leaning Back into the Mist

In ancient Chinese paintings

everything is mist:

mountain tops hint at massive

bases hidden in mist,

serpentine pathways

twist into distant mist,

water falls splash-free

into hissing mist,

solid temples and shelters

breathe mist

fabrics draping graceful figures

veil like mist,

perhaps a dark blade of bamboo

pierces the foreground mist,

but the stand behind

already lists into mist.




"Anaphora is a literary term for the practice of repeating certain words or phrases at the beginning of multiple clauses or, in the case of a poem, multiple lines." Today's prompt from - http://www.napowrimo.net/ --- My title, "Anaphora Leaning Back into the Mist" suggests my reversed use of anaphora, since the definition suggests the repetition occurs at the beginning of the lines, and I have placed mine at the end.
