Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds followed by different consonants in two or more stressed syllables.
That would be three stressed syllables, a molossus.
A vowel is short when it is followed by a consonant that stops the sound, resulting in a brief pronunciation. In English, short vowels usually occur in closed syllables, where the vowel is followed by one or more consonants.
Plosive consonants are typically characterized by a complete closure in the vocal tract, followed by a sudden release of air. These sounds are often described as "explosive" and are found in many languages around the world. They are a key feature in human speech production and are used to create distinctive sounds and contrasts in various languages.
Vowel sounds can be short or long depending on the pronunciation. In general, a vowel followed by a consonant in a single-syllable word is short (such as "cat"), while a vowel followed by a silent E or two consonants is long (such as "cake").
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds followed by different consonants in two or more stressed syllables.
The repetition of similar vowel sounds followed by different consonants is called assonance. It is a literary device commonly used in poetry and literature to create rhythm and musicality in the writing.
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.
There are two syllables in the word "followed".
You will have a long vowel sound if the vowel is followed by 2 consonants.
Monosyllabic words and their derivatives have a short vowel. A vowel followed by a single consonant and an 'e' is long. A vowel followed by a single consonant and a different vowel is likely to be long. A vowel followed by two consonants is short. There are exceptions, of course, and you just have to learn them I'm afraid.

A poem doesn't need rhymes - there are many other literary devices that poets can use to express themselves. For example, if you enjoy words, you might want to include puns, repetition (repetition repetition!) You can think about the rhythm or meter of the poem. For example, lines of poetry can be divided into dactyls (short syllables), spondees (long syllables) and iams (which are a short syllable followed by a long syllable). If you are trying to create a peaceful or mood, you will want to include more long syllables to slow the poem down and create and aura of tranquility. My personal favourite is to use metaphors. This means that you talk about something that in fact represents something else. For example, one might write an essay about the growth and journey a seed, that is in fact a portrayal of the flourishing of a child. I hope this helps!
Ionic: either describing its origin (from Ionia Greece) or its syllable pattern (Ionic is a metrical foot of four syllables, either two long syllables followed by two short syllables (greater Ionic) or two short syllables followed by two long syllables (lesser Ionic))hexameter: A line of verse consisting of six metrical feetNote: Ionic is not to be confused with1) Iambic which is the use of a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable2) Ionic bonding in Chemistry
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.
