<p>Basic fact stub</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A metric foot is a collection of two or three syllables. There are six types of metric feet used commonly by English poets, and they are differentiated by where the stresses lie.<br /> <br /> ==== Two syllable feet ====<br /> <br /> ;iamb :an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (e.g. instead)<br /> ;trochee :a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable (e.g. platter)<br /> ;spondee :two stressed syllables (e.g. football)<br /> ;pyrrhic :two unstressed syllables (usually not found in one word)<br /> <br /> ==== Three syllable feet ====<br /> <br /> ;anapest :two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable (e.g. intercept)<br /> ;dactyl :a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables (e.g. laughable)</div>
