A poem or verse typically has a pattern of stressed (accented) and unstressed (unaccented) words, known as meter. This pattern helps create rhythm in the poem and contributes to its overall structure and flow.
A regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables is called a meter. Common meters include iambic pentameter and trochaic tetrameter. Meter is often used in poetry to create rhythm and structure.
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.
This metrical pattern is called an iamb. In poetry, an iamb consists of a sequence in which an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable. It is one of the most common metrical patterns in English poetry.
Tomorrow has a stressed first syllable ("to-") and an unstressed second syllable ("-morrow").
In "where the sidewalk ends," the stressed syllables are "where," "side," and "ends," while the unstressed syllables are "the," "the," and "walk."
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

A pattern of stressed and unstressed sounds in language is called rhythm. This rhythmic pattern is created by organizing syllables into stressed (accented) and unstressed (unaccented) beats. It helps to create a natural flow and musicality in speech.

The repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem or piece of writing is called meter, and it provides a beat or rhythm. Different types of meters include iambic (unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable), trochaic (stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable), and anapestic (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable), among others. The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables can create a musicality and flow in a poem.
Stressed and unstressed elements in a poem are called meter, specifically the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that create the rhythmic structure of a poem. This rhythmic pattern is known as the poem's meter, with common examples including iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter.

A trochee is a word containing two syllables, the first stressed and the second unstressed (such as FORest). "Beautiful" has three syllables in the stressed-unstressed-unstressed pattern (BEAUtiful), which makes it a dactyl.
