Fixed verse forms are a kind of template or formula that poetry can be composed in. The opposite of Fixed verse is Free verse poetry, which by design has little or no pre-established guidelines.
The various poetic forms, such as meter, rhyme scheme, and stanzas guide and limit a poet's choices when composing poetry. A fixed verse form combines one or more of these limitations into a larger form.
A form usually demands strict adherence to the established guidelines that to some poets may seem stifling, while other poets view the rigid structure as a challenge to be innovative and creative while staying within the guidelines.
D. meeting one particular dog
A gerund phrase begins with a -ing word and then includes any modifiers and objects, so A, B and C are not the correct answers.
The day was very bright when we decided to play a football match with a nearby football team in our neighborhood. We called the best players among ourselves leaving Kelvin behind. In fact, this guy isn’t good using his foot for things like this, I mean he’s very weak when it comes to playing football but he came along to support us.
We played about ten(10) minutes and they scored us so we decided to break for half time not knowing our best striker whom we believed won’t play again. There was no substitute to fix him and confidently, Kelvin said he can play. We all burst into laughter, we even thought that it was a dream but we had no choice but to replace him since there was no one.
Within three minutes of play, we had scored two goals of which kelvin scored it all. He could dribble from the center to the opponents half and place the ball at a very unexpected position to score a goal. On the thirty-fifth minutes, our opponents gave up for they were tired and the game results in 6:3 in favor us.
We felt ashamed underrating the guy and all he could tell us was that “we should sometimes hide the good things in us in order to know true friends who believe in our effortless caliber”. We were all mute as I told them that “THIS IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET”
Could you please give the examples?
