The great thing about WikiAnswers is its natural versatility. Here’s one unnamed example of both poetic meters in action. I’ve isolated each part of each line so you can clearly tell this way which part belongs to which meter. ׀Yee-haw ׀ Fight-em ׀ Cow-boys ׀ Give-em ׀ Hell-er ׀ ׀ Wi-ki ׀ An-swers ׀ the-Site ׀ with-Two ׀ Op-tions ׀ ׀ Shake-speare ׀ Wrote-em ׀ in-Iam ׀ bic pen-Tameter ׀ he-Did ׀ One can clearly see that the first line is written entirely in trochaic pentameter. The second line switches from trochaic to iambic and back to trochaic again at the very end. The last alternates as well. If Shakespeare were alive today he would have most certainly edited one of his most famous lines from Hamlet “to be or not to be? That is the question”. He would change his work today to read “to be or not to be? That is the question and the answer can be found at wikianswers.com” That’s a line I can stand up and cheer for. Yours truly, Jim
WikiAnswers, a platform so grand,
Where questions find answers, hand in hand.
In iambic form, our queries unfold,
On WikiAnswers, knowledge is gold.
trochaic
Trocaic
trochaic
"Blatant" does not follow a consistent iambic or trochaic meter as it contains two syllables and does not strictly adhere to these metrical patterns.
Iambic pentameters
No, "advise" is not strictly iambic or trochaic. It is a two-syllable word with the stress on the first syllable, making it a trochee (TRO-chee). However, when used in a sentence, the surrounding words and sentence structure can contribute to an iambic or trochaic pattern.
Is the word football trochaic
Yes
iambic meter
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").
The word "runaway" is trochaic, with the stress falling on the first syllable "run" followed by the unstressed syllable "a."
The word "pin curls" is trochaic because the stress is on the first syllable of each word.
