The recurrence of stressed and unstressed sounds in poetry is known as meter. Meter helps create rhythm and structure in a poem, as well as enhance its musical quality.

One stressed syllable followed by two unstressed is called a dactyl, and a line of verse written in that style is called dactyllic. Here are the other kinds of metrical feet as well: iamb: unstressed, stressed trochee: stressed, unstressed dactyl: stressed, unstressed, unstressed anapest: unstressed, unstressed, stressed amphibrach: unstressed, stressed, unstressed amphimacer: stressed, unstressed, stressed bacchius: unstressed, stressed, stressed antibacchius: stressed, unstressed, unstressed pyrrhus: unstressed, unstressed spondee: stressed, stressed tribrach: unstressed, unstressed, unstressed molossus: stressed, stressed, stressed

Rythm
the repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry
The meter tells you the number of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry.
In English poetry and literature, stressed syllables are those that receive more emphasis in pronunciation, while unstressed syllables are pronounced with less emphasis. The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables is crucial in creating rhythm and meter in poetry. Various poetic forms, such as iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter, rely on specific arrangements of stressed and unstressed syllables to establish a particular poetic structure.
iambic pentameter
A trochee is a metrical foot in poetry, consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. It is the opposite of an iamb, which has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Trochees are commonly found in nursery rhymes and have a strong, driving rhythm.
An example of a cadence in poetry could be the rhythmic pattern created by a series of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of verse, such as in iambic pentameter where there are five sets of alternating stressed and unstressed syllables. This creates a musical quality to the poetry.
The pattern of stressed and unstressed sounds in poetry is known as meter. It helps to create a rhythmic flow in the poem and guides the reader on how to read it aloud. Meter is determined by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line of a poem.
