So what is anaphora? This is what Wikipedia says: anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, “carrying back”) is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis

Stars are shining bright and granting wishes, they say
Stars are so far away, still listening to our pleas
Stars are brilliant, we tell children, even though they are thousands of years old
Stars are brightening a black sky, granting wishes and inspiring
Stars are a distant truth that we peer at, and hope for change

Lovely starry list poem here. I like the way you used the prompt. Stars are so strange and far away, and yet obviously so very close!
