Stressed syllables are pronounced with more emphasis, typically with a higher pitch and longer duration, while unstressed syllables are pronounced with less emphasis, usually at a lower pitch and shorter duration. This contrast in pronunciation helps create rhythm in speech and gives words their distinct patterns and cadences.
In "where the sidewalk ends," the stressed syllables are "where," "side," and "ends," while the unstressed syllables are "the," "the," and "walk."
The first syllable is stressed. The second is unstressed.

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.
iambic pentameter
Take and word are stressed, the rest unstressed.
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 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.
....In verse and poetry, meter is a recurring pattern of stressed (accented, or long) and unstressed (unaccented, or short) syllables in lines of a set length. For example, suppose a line contains ten syllables (set length) in which the first syllable is unstressed, the second is stressed, the third is unstressed, the fourth is stressed, and so on until the line reaches the tenth syllable. The line would look like the following one (the opening line of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18") containing a pattern of unstressed and stressed syllables. The unstressed syllables are in blue and the stressed syllables in red.Shall I com PARE thee TO a SUM mer's DAY?Each pair of unstressed and stressed syllables makes up a unit called a foot. The line contains five feet in all, as shown next:....1.............. 2.................3..............4................ 5Shall.I..|..com.PARE..|..thee.TO..|..a.SUM..|..mer's DAY?
The stressed and unstressed syllables in poem 340 create a rhythmic pattern known as meter. This meter can influence the pace, tone, and mood of the poem. Stressed syllables often indicate emphasis or importance, while unstressed syllables contribute to the overall flow and musicality of the verse.
