Key thing to think about:
- the rhyme scheme as ABCBBB means that "B" lines will all rhyme with the last word
- I think "16 15 16 15 7" is talking about syllable count, so we need to make sure our first line has 16 syllables, etc
I am afraid of the water, as it can be scary down deep
With the unknown terrors lurking beneath the murky, dark blue
The things we do not know under the surface cause me great dread
For unless I find out, these unknown frights will be ringing true
Because I cannot see through
These great fears of the depths are mighty, and will never go askew
Thinking about the extensive sea can make me queasy
The thoughts swirling of it swallowing you up with jaws of darkness
Your lungs fill quickly with water, unable to breath easy
Leaves me hugely uneasy
(I am not actually afraid of water lol, but there are a lot of words you can use haha! I hope this will work for your assignment!)
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

<u>Answer</u>:
- The sign cautioned swimmers to stay within the designated swimming area–adverbial phrase.
- The lifeguards on the beach watched the swimmers carefully–adjectival phrase.
- Children and their parents built sandcastles with tall towers–adjectival phrase
- Seagulls soared over the water, searching for food–adjectival phrase.
<u>Explanation</u><em>:</em>
<em>- The sign cautioned swimmers to stay within the designated swimming area:</em>
In this sentence, the word "within" acts as an adverbial phrase telling us where the swimmers were asked to stay. And the words "stay within the designated swimming area" is a prepositional phrase since it uses the preposition "within".
<em>- The lifeguards on the beach watched the swimmers carefully</em>:
Remember, adjectives are known for ending with 'ly', and the word "carefully" modifies the sentence, telling us how the lifeguards watched the swimmers.
<em>- Children and their parents built sandcastles with tall towers:</em>
This is the case because the adjective "tall" is used in the sentence to modify the word "tower", in a sense telling us the type of towers built.
<em>- Seagulls soared over the water, searching for food:</em>
The adjective "searching" is used to modify the entire sentence telling us what the Seagulls soared the waters for.
