The anapest.
A foot.
A type of metrical foot is the iamb, which consists of two syllables: the first is unstressed and the second is stressed (da-DUM). Iambs are commonly used in English poetry, particularly in iambic pentameter, which features five iambs per line. Other types of metrical feet include trochees, anapests, and dactyls, each with different patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables.
trochee
The term you're looking for is "anapestic meter." In this metrical pattern, each foot consists of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable, creating a rhythm often associated with a lively or playful tone. An example of anapestic meter can be found in the works of poets like Lord Byron and in many children's nursery rhymes.
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.
In that order, that's an anapest.

True. The metrical structure of a poem refers to the rhythmic pattern created by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line of the poem.
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
The term for a metrical foot with one stressed and one unstressed syllable is an iamb. Each pair of syllables in the word "again" is an example of an iamb: a-GAIN.
