What is a "metrical foot"?

A metrical foot is a basic unit of measurement used to define the rhythm of a line. It consists of a specific combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. Different types of metrical feet, such as iamb, trochee, dactyl, anapest, spondee, and pyrrhic, create various rhythmic patterns in verse. The arrangement of these feet within a line contributes to the poem's overall meter, influencing its musicality and flow. Understanding the concept of a metrical foot is essential for analyzing poetic structure and the effects of rhythm on meaning and emotion in poetry.
