Post Carbon Institute | Leading the transition to a resilient world. Types of Meters in Poetry. A meter in writing is a rhythm of accented and unaccented syllables organized into "feet" which are also known as patterns. Feet are best described as a pattern of syllables put together in a way to maintain rhythm throughout a work of art. Most poems contain two or three syllables per foot. Nonetheless, some authors may begin or end a line with a "hanging syllable"--a foot missing a syllable. An accented syllable is simply a stressed syllable (or long syllable). Mostly, the accent depends on the rhythm of the poem. The most well-known meter structure in poetry is the iambic-pentameter. Disyllables Pyrrhus A foot including two unaccented syllables, generally used to vary rhythm. Spondee A foot consisting of two accented syllables.

Iamb A foot which starts with an unaccented and ends with an accented (stressed) syllable. Trochee The opposite of an iambic meter. Trisyllables Tribrach A foot with three unaccented syllables. Amphibrach A foot with unaccent, accent, unaccent. Bacchius Antibacchius Cretic. Home. Institute for Public Accuracy. Disinformation: Everything You Know Is Wrong.
