Anapestic meter is a poetic meter in which each foot contains two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable, like in the word "understand." This meter is commonly found in lighthearted or humorous poetry, as it can create a bouncy and upbeat rhythm.

Anapestic-tetrameter is a poetic meter that contains four anapestic feet per line. An anapest is two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable.
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.
The meter in Emily Dickinson's poem "I Took the Power in My Hand" is predominantly iambic trimeter interspersed with anapestic variations. This meter creates a rhythmic flow that enhances the poem's tone and impact.
it is mostly amphibrachic, with some anapestic lines.
Not necessarily.
A dactyl is a long syllable followed by two short ones. ('Dum-de-de').Dactylic trimeter is three of the above one after the other.('Dum-de-de, dum-de-de, dum-de-de').e.g."Barack Obama's a superman."
No it is not. Dactyl is the most dominant and Iamb is the most common
The meter pattern in the poem line "There was an Old Man with a beard" is predominantly anapestic tetrameter. This means each line has four metrical feet consisting of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable.
All limericks are anapestic. Additionally, most of Suess's work is specfically anapestic tetrameter, like "The Zax" and "Yertle the Turtle," as is Charles Clement Moore's "The Night Before Christmas." Interestingly enough, "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin also seems to be almost entirely anapestic tetrameter as well.
