A "foot" in poetry refers to the metrical foot. It is a unit of measure used to analyze the rhythm of a poem, and is based on the qualities of the sounds of speech. A metrical foot is usually composed of what are referred to as "strong stresses" and "weak stresses." Weak stresses are usually short words or sounds which are pronounced quickly and with a lower tone, or pitch. Strong stresses are just the opposite. If you pay close attention, when you read a poem aloud, sometimes you may notice that the sounds you are making, reading the words, fall into a cadence, or rhythm, like "dah DUH, dah DUH, dah DUH, dah DUH, dah DUH." The "dah" would be a weak stressed syllable, and the "DUH" would be a strong stressed syllable. This particular combination (starting with one weak stress and continuing with one strong stress) is called an iamb, which is a metrical foot.
