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>
