In this poem the author wrote "I grew up distant" and "and always afraid". In my opinion, it contributes to fear and how fear can lead us to regret.

Write a paragraph about taking an ocean voyage to another country with bonus, approach, motion, continent, accomplish

REY [17]

We stood on the deck of "The Labrador" as it sailed amoung he many waves. We were on a voyage to China, and our journey had only begun. The ship's motion was making me feel like the ship was going to drown. Luckily, "The Labrador" was prepared with life jackets, which was a major bonus. Seven months later, we began to approach a land mass. I wondered if that land mass could possibly be Asia. If it was, we were in luck. China was located in Asia. As we sailed closer, I began to feel as if we were going to accomplish our goal. I realized we had finally reached China. As I stepped onto the foreign grounds of China, I realized that I missed the comforting motion of the waves under the ship's floor.

Iambic pentameter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats five times in each line.) - Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18)

Iambic heptameter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats seven times in each line.) - O could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been (Lord Byron, “Youth and Age”)

Dactylic tetrameter. (The foot has a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables. This pattern repeats four times in each line.)- Just for a handful of silver he left us (Robert Browning, “The Lost Leader”)

Explanation:

A trochaic octameter is a metrical form where the syllables follow the pattern of a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable, with the pattern occurring eight times in a line. An example of this metrical form is "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary" from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven".

An iambic pentameter is a metrical form where an iamb/ foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, with a repetition of five times in a line. An example of such form is the line "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?" from "Sonnet 18" by William Shakespeare.

Iambic heptameter is the same as that of an iambic pentameter, except that the repetition happens seven times in a line instead of five. An example is Lord Byron's "O could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been" from "Youth and Age".

The dactylic tetrameter form is where a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable, with the pattern repetition of four times in each line. An example is a line "Just for a handful of silver he left us" from Robert Browning's poem "The Lost Leader".
