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.

A trochee is a metrical foot in poetry, consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. It is the opposite of an iamb, which has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Trochees are commonly found in nursery rhymes and have a strong, driving rhythm.
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
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.
