My poem form is anaphora but I didn't see it listed. Therefore, I chose rhyme, which is the wrong form. 

Lo and BEHOLD. I AM THE universe, parent to the GALAXIES. I am that BITTER UNFAMILIAR taste in your mouth. I am the LIGHT THAT BREAKS the DARKNESS. I am the coming of a new HORIZON. I AM THE KINDLED FIRE BLAZING BRIGHT. I AM THE TRIUMPH THAT REST WITH THE BLESSED. I AM EVERY WORD IN THE HOLY BOOKS. THOUGH YOU think it's UNTRUE I am the mountains MAJESTY. I am THE JOY OF EVERY CHILD. I AM the rows of CROP AT the PEAK of HARVEST. I am the SOULS of the DEAD WANDERING to and fro. I AM THE SPIRITS IN the corners of the WORLD. I AM THE UNABASHED FEARLESS LITTLE GIRL. I AM THE BRAVERY IN ALL. I AM THE BLOOD that SPEWS carelessly. Though you may not BELIEVE, I AM THE WRATH OF THE GODS BEFORE THE HUMANS FALL. I AM THE SLAVE AT THEIR BECKONED CALL. I AM THAT MINUET CREATURE BURROWING WITHIN THE EARTH. I AM THE DESTINY OF ALL. I AM THE SLUMBERING, THE STILL, THE SILENT COLD, HARSH WINDS BLOW, THE ANGRY AND THE UNRELENTING DOCTOR GONE MAD. I AM THE MINORITY within the MAJORITY FEVERISH AND GLAD. I AM THE ONE STANDING. AT the feet of TITANS JUST BEFORE BATTLE. I AM THE FORCE WITHIN AND WITHIN I REMAIN.
