What are all the meters of poetry?
The building blocks of poetry with regular rhythms are the 'feet'.A foot can be an iamb (or iambus) with a 'de-dum' rhythm, ("indeed")a trochee with a 'dum-de' rhythm, ("falling")a dibrach (or pyrrhic) that goes 'de-de', ("in the...")a spondee 'dum-dum'. ("dark days")The longer feet are the anapest with a 'de-de-dum' rhythm, ("of the night")the dactyl 'dum-de-de', ("elephant")and the amphibrach 'de-dum-de'. ("expecting") The meter is referred to by its Greek prefix; trimeter,tetrameter, pentameter, hexameter, heptameter, etc.. This is simply the number of feet used in a line. Examples:"I think that I shall never see" = Iambic tetrameter"When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes" = Iambic pentameter"Remember, remember the fifth of November" = Amphibraic tetrameter"Christopher Robin goes hoppity, hoppity" = Dactylic tetrameter
