iambic meter
anapestic
A trochaic foot is a metrical unit in poetry consisting of two syllables: the first is stressed and the second is unstressed. This creates a rhythmic pattern that contrasts with the iambic foot, where the stress is on the second syllable. Trochaic meter can add a lively, dynamic quality to a poem. Common examples can be found in works by poets like Longfellow and Tennyson.
Trisyllabic meter is a poetic structure that consists of lines made up of three syllables per metric foot. This form can create a rhythmic and melodic quality in poetry, often emphasizing certain words or phrases. It is less common than other meters like iambic or trochaic but can be found in various literary traditions and styles. Trisyllabic meter can add a unique cadence and emotional impact to a poem.
The term "decimeter" refers to a unit of length in the metric system equal to one-tenth of a meter. Since "decimeter" is a specific unit of measurement, it doesn't have a direct opposite. However, if considering larger units, one could argue that the opposite in scale could be a "decameter," which is ten meters, or a smaller unit like "centimeter," which is one-hundredth of a meter.
Meter in poetry refers to the rhythmic structure of verses, determined by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables. The most common types include iambic (unstressed-stressed), trochaic (stressed-unstressed), anapestic (unstressed-unstressed-stressed), and dactylic (stressed-unstressed-unstressed). Additionally, there are variations like spondees (stressed-stressed) and pyrrhic (unstressed-unstressed). Meter can also be categorized by the number of feet per line, such as monometer, dimeter, trimester, tetrameter, pentameter, and so on.
