The opening stanza portray a frightened narrator fleeing though darkness. How does it rhythm reflect and enhance its meaning

According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Runagate, Runagate."

In this poem, Robert Hayden describes the escape of a black person from slavery. The opening stanza portrays a narrator who is terrified, as he is fleeing through darkness. The rhythm of the poem is tumultuous and dramatic, giving the reader a feeling of tension and fear. The narration is also fragmented, which reflects both the motion of the character, as well as the chaos of his thoughts. The rhythm and diction of the poem enhance its meaning, as they convey a feeling of danger, fear and uncertainty, which are precisely the feelings that often accompanied slaves during their escape.

This is the first stanza of the poem:

Runs falls rises stumbles on from darkness into darkness

and the darkness thicketed with shapes of terror

and the hunters pursuing and the hounds pursuing

and the night cold and the night long and the river

to cross and the jack-muh-lanterns beckoning beckoning

and blackness ahead and when shall I reach that somewhere

morning and keep on going and never turn back and keep on going

               Runagate

                             Runagate

                                           Runagate

write a five paragraph essay, you were taught to have three body paragraphs. a university essay is more flexible than that, depending on its length and on what it is trying to say. a short university essay may have three body paragraphs, but it may have more.
