Metaphor: "until everything was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!"

This metaphor refers to the marks that oil leaves on water as a "rainbow." The author says that the oil spread over everything in the boat. However, the phrase is also a reference to her happiness over the victory of catching a fish, and it gives the end of the poem a joyous tone.

I cant write the same explantion because I forgot but, i hope you got all the notes that I did for you down..

But I can try to summarize

Verbal Phrase- It has to do with the action. For example: to the shopping mall or to the Candy Store.

Gerund- Always ends in -ing and if the verb is put in past tense then it ends in -ed.

Participle Phrase: A participle is a verbal ending in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).
