O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;

The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring

that is one of his poems i just need to use alliteration and metaphors imagery but just basically use the things that he did in his poems minumim of 10 lines

Carnation milk is the best in the land,

Here I sit with a can in my hand,

No tits to pull, no hay to pitch,

Just poke a hole in the sonuvabi.tch

well this is what i ended up turning in its called two faced

like life i have two faces

one looking ahaed towards success

the other behinf with failure

i often find myself in between

struggling not to fall in the holes of failure

but to follow the road towards success

trying succesfully to dodge the twist and turns

that life hands to us,knowing that any bump

in the road will only set you back

making my success harder to achieve

but once accomplished,i know i completed

another chapter in my life
