The correct answers are:

*Black verse:

There is a quiet spirit in these woods,

That dwells where'er the gentle south-wind blows;

Where, underneath the white-thorn, in the glade,

The wild flowers bloom, or, kissing the soft air,

The leaves above their sunny palms outspread. (from "The Spirit of Poetry" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

<em>The poetic style of this poem is </em><em>black verse</em><em>, since it is written with regular metrical but unrhymed lines. In other words, un-rhyming verses written in iambic pentameter. </em>

*Enjambment:

Ah! what is not a dream by day

To him whose eyes are cast

On things around him with a ray

Turned back upon the past? (from "A Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe)

<em>The poetic style of this poem is </em><em>enjambment</em><em>, since it contains lines that end without punctuation and without completing a sentence or clause.</em>

*Iambic pentameter:

I said unto myself, if I were dead,

What would befall these children? What would be

Their fate, who now are looking up to me

For help and furtherance? Their lives, I said, (from "A Shadow" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

<em>The poetic style of this poem is </em><em>iambic pentameter</em><em>, since it is a combination of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. An iambic pentameter has five stressed syllables and ten syllables total. </em>

How do the phrases "star-cross'd lovers" and "death-mark'd love" introduce the themes of love and fate in the prologue to Romeo
Softa [21]
The phrase "star-cross'd lovers" introduces the theme of love and fate by mainly describing love from far away or something like that because in Romeo and Juliet they cannot see each-other because of their families, therefore making them star-cross'd lovers.

The phrase "death-mark'd love" introduces the theme of love and fate by explaining how they will love til' "death do us part." It also introduces the theme of the prologue because in the prologue they love each-other until death, which helps the reader infer what will happen in the story in a type of way.

I never have read one word of Romeo and Juliet but I've heard reviews about it, I'm not sure if this is correct but I hope it helps you get the idea of what I am trying to explain. :)
