Question: Will you help find the rhythm of this poem please?

Poem: A Lament for Confederation by Chief Dan George

What is the rhythm for this poem?

Is it any of the following meters?

1. Iamb -- the Iamb is a pattern of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable, as in the word: en-JOY.

2. Trochee -- the Trochee is one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable, as in the word: CON-quer.

3. Spondee -- Spondee is a pattern of two stressed syllables in poetry. As with the above types of meter, the pattern may cross over from word to word in a poem. An example of spondee might be: 'GO! GO!' Both one-syllable words are stressed.

4. Anapest --The Anapest is a combination of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable. Take this phrase: 'to the NORTH.' The first two syllables are unstressed, while the final syllable is stressed.

5. Dactyl -- the Dactyl is the opposite of the Anapest, in that it has one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables as in the phrase: 'FLY a-way.'

Thanks!

Kenning to describe myself?

I have to describe myself using a kenning. A kenning is 2 words that describes something without actually saying it.
Ex) Tree swinger- monkey
Mind-reader - A person who knows what you are thinking
Tummy slider -penguin
I am athletic, stylish, and love fashion! Any suggestions would be helpful thank you!

Question: What is the rhyme scheme of the song "Shake it off" by Taylor Swift?

She just uses words that sound similar but don't really rhyme. I'll try though.

Play- A
Hate- B
Shake- C
Off- D
Break- C
Fake- C
Shake- C
Off- D

Hope I helped.
