That would be three stressed syllables, a molossus.
That is called a dactylic meter. It consists of a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables.
In the word "desperate," the stressed syllable is "des" and the unstressed syllables are "per" and "ate." Stressed syllables are pronounced with more emphasis and are typically longer and louder than unstressed syllables.
The metrical foot consisting of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable is called an iamb. It is commonly found in English poetry and creates a natural, flowing rhythm.
The word stressed has only one syllable. If you wanted to use the word in a poem you could take poetic license and pronounce it with two syllables as stress-ed.
A foot of verse having one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable is called an iamb. This pattern is common in English poetry, with examples like "to-DAY" or "a-LONE."
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.
That foot pattern is called a "dactyl." In dactylic meter, each foot consists of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables.
Anapestic meter consists of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable (ex: "in the GARden"). Iambic meter consists of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable (ex: "to BE or NOT to BE"). Triple meters are typically dactylic (three-syllable feet with one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables) rather than anapestic or iambic.
The term that defines a metrical foot pattern in poetry featuring one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables is anapaest.
No, an iambic foot is made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. It is a common metrical pattern in poetry.
An iamb is a word or line consisting of two syllables, one unstressed followed by a stressed syllable. "Telephone" has three syllables, therefore is not an iamb.
The definition given does not specify the order of these syllables. If the pattern is one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables, it is a dactyl. If the pattern is two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable, it is an anapest (also spelled "anapaest"). Words that are dactyls include metrical, syllable, merrily, and cinnamon. "What can the matter be?" is a sentence made up of two dactyls. Phrases that are anapests include "go away", "take a bath", "come along", and "fall apart".
The word popular has three syllables. There is one stressed syllable, the first one. The syllables in the word are pop'-u-lar.
A trochaic foot typically consists of one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable, making it a two-syllable unit.

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
