I like the idea of this thread, OP, but I have a hunch that the majority of posters here don't know how metre works. Most people here don't even care about poetry, it would seem. That is, until they become experts when someone posts a chart they disagree with.
That being said, I applaud your effort and I saved your image.

Four Lines in Amphibrachic Pentameter

Solid start for a newbie. I don't think "years gone by" in your second line is a dactyl, though, as a lot of verbal inflection is also placed on "by," making it a cretic, apparently.

That said, pretty damn good start for having to make something on the fly.
