Can you please help me rephrase a poem by Whitman or at least check if my sentences are correct?
1)We were holding each other tightly without ever leaving each other (??)
2) We enjoyed going up and down, making excursions, being powerful (??)
3) We streched our elbows and held our fingers tightly because we didn't want to lose each other (or to part from each other)
4) We were armed and fearless, we didn't follow any laws (we disregarded or we were careless of the laws)
5) We sailed, soldiered (?), stole and threatened, plundered cities
6) "Misers, menials, priests alarming" (??) We alarmed or frightened those who were stingy, menials(?) and the priests
7) We plundered cities, despised ease and statutes, chased weakness and we made forays
8)Can you also check if these spellings are possible?
two kiwis or two kiwi fruits
two kakis or two kaki
two grapefruits or ..fruit
Can I replace a hundred grams of ham with a hectogram of ham???
I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks
5. Put the word "and" between threatened "and" plundered.
6. menial (not plural = adjective)
Yes, hectogram = 100 grams

P.S. I would not add anything within parentheses.
Again and again ... you need to put proper punctuation at the ends of sentences -- usually periods, but sometimes question marks or exclamation marks.
Sure! I can help you with that. Here are the rephrased sentences:
1) We held onto each other tightly, never letting go.
2) We found joy in going up and down, taking excursions, and exerting power.
3) We extended our arms and held onto each other firmly, determined not to lose one another.
4) We were armed and fearless, paying no heed to laws.
5) We sailed, fought, stole, and threatened, plundering cities.
6) "Misers, servants, and alarming priests" - We instilled fear in those who were stingy, servants, and the priests.
7) We raided cities, rejected comfort and established laws, pursued weakness, and conducted raids.
8) As for the spellings, they are correct:
- two kiwis or two kiwi fruits
- two kakis or two kaki (though "persimmon" is more commonly used)
- two grapefruits or two fruits
Regarding your last question, a hectogram is equal to 100 grams, so you can indeed replace a hundred grams of ham with a hectogram of ham.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
