Trochaic tetrameter
Trocaic
Yes
Meter in poetry is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. stressed syllables are signified by / unstressed by u There are multiple meter patterns but the four most prevalent are: iambic: u / trochaic: / u dactylic: / u u anapestic: u u / Word examples: Iamb (u /): hello Trochee (/ u): under Dactyl (/ u u): canopy Anapest (u u / ): understand Poetry examples: Iambic (u / u / u / u / u /): Shall I compare thee to a summers day Trochaic (/ u / u / u / u): Double, double, toil and trouble Dactylic (/ u u / u u): Take her up tenderly Anapestic (u u / u u / u u / u u /): So I walk by the edge of a lake in my dream
As always, Shakespeare makes use of a good deal of blank verse, which is to say unrhymed iambic pentameter. The verses in the caskets and the comments of Morocco and Aragon thereon are in trochaic tetrameter, without the weak beat of the last trochee, as Dum-da Dum-da Dum-da Dum. The rhythm of "Tell me where is fancy bred" is similar: it may be scanned as iambic tetrameter as well as trochaic.
iambic meter
anapestic
The meter marked the opposite of iambic is trochaic. In trochaic meter, the stress falls on the first syllable of each foot (e.g., "Tro-chee"), whereas in iambic meter, the stress falls on the second syllable of each foot (e.g., "pa-RADE").
"Blatant" does not follow a consistent iambic or trochaic meter as it contains two syllables and does not strictly adhere to these metrical patterns.
Trochaic tetrameter consists of four trochees per line, where each trochee is a metrical foot made up of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. An example of trochaic tetrameter is the line "Tell me not in mournful numbers," from Longfellow's "A Psalm of Life." Each pair of syllables in this line follows the trochaic pattern, creating a rhythmic flow typical of this meter.

Trochaic tetrameter
The meter in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" is primarily trochaic tetrameter, which consists of four trochaic feet per line. This meter helps create a playful and rhythmic quality to the poem, enhancing its whimsical and imaginative tone.
Trochaic pentameter is a line with 5 trochaic feet, or stresses.For example: Bobby wanted candy Tuesday eveningThis is in contrast to iambic pentameter which has 5 iambic feet, or stresses:The bird upon electric chord is flaming
"But soft" is an example of iambic meter, with the stress falling on the second syllable of each word ("soft" is stressed, "but" is unstressed). This is a common metrical pattern in Shakespeare's poetry, where each foot consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
To determine the predominant meter of a specific example, one would need to analyze the rhythmic structure of the text or piece in question. Common meters include iambic pentameter, trochaic tetrameter, and others, each defined by the arrangement and number of syllables. If you provide the specific example, I can help identify its predominant meter.
