Anapaest quatrain ( first proper attempt + second attempt )

I admit that anapaest is not my comfort zone. I prefer that Wesley would have a look at it. I have just submitted some anapaest limericks myself. Hope mine and yours would work. :)
Best wishes.

But not quite. I'm on my phone, so scanning is tough. Think 'Twas the night before Christmas.

I am writ- / ing a poem / for you. / It's not like- / ly to work. (This is mostly Anapest with a single Pyhrric, a foot of two unaccented syllables. This is important. Pyhrrics, though obvious, are seldom troublesome as they tend to adopt the meter surrounding them. For the workshop it doesn’t cut it, but as poetry don’t sweat it)

I will try, / even though / I will prob- / ably not / get it right. (Anapest… well versed)

It might help / if I think / and then write. / Con-fidence /al-so / helps. (Three Anapestic feet, then we have Dactyl. Always double check individual words for their common pronunciation to assure yourself they in their proper place within the verse. “Confidence” could not work at this location, but don’t eliminate the word… instead rearrange the phrasing that you may place the word slightly off to one side or another of your feet. “Also” is Trochee which leaves a catalectic foot at the end… a “hanging” foot… in this case Trochaic)

Or I could / take a peek / at a poem / al-rea- / dy in vogue. (Three Anapestic feet, one Iamb followed by another Anapest. Poetically speaking… perfectly acceptable. Remember that Anapest and Iamb go hand in hand quite comfortably, while Dactyl and Trochee do likewise. We find ourselves in trouble when mixing Anapest and Trochee or Dactyl and Iamb. They do not meld)

I am having some family problems, but I am around and if you can be patient I would very much like to scan your second attempt.

Understanding and using meter to develop rhythm is my only goal at this point.
