Prosody Understanding the meter of a poem to better understand and appreciate content

Meter A poem is metrical when we see countable regularity through stressed/unstressed syllables AND A regular line width

Foot A poetic foot consists of one stressed syllable, usually accompanied by one or two unstressed syllables.

Types of feet and examples Iambic: one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable EXAMPLE: The curfew tolls the knell of parting day

Anapestic Two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable Example: Where the youth pined away with desire

Trochaic One stressed followed by one unstressed Example: Once upon a midnight dreary

Dactylic One stressed followed by two unstressed Example: This is the forest primeval, the murmuring pines and the hemlocks

Spondaic and pyrrhic (substitutions only in a poetic line) Spondaic: Two equally stressed syllables Example: Good strong thick stupefying incense smoke Pyrrhic: Two equally unstressed syllables Example: My way is to begin at the beginning

Line width To count the number of feet per poetic line, pretend the foot is a musical beat. TWO WAYS TO FIND OUT THE LINE WIDTH: 1. Clap the stressed syllables either aloud, or think them as you read. 2. Count the TOTAL number of syllables and divide by two or three, depending on the foot type. If the division is uneven, then you must revert to method #1.

Types of lines Monometer: one foot per line Dimeter: two feet per line Trimeter: three feet per line Tetrameter: four feet per line Pentameter: five feet per line Hexameter: six feet per line Heptameter: seven feet per line Octameter: eight feet per line

Example of counting width and foot type Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” (I am capitalizing stressed syllables for ease of reading) Two ROADS diVERGED in a YELlow WOOD, And SORry I COULD not TRAvel BOTH And BE one TRAVEler, LONG i STOOD And LOOKED down ONE as FAR as i COULD To WHERE it BENT in the UNdergGROWTH.
