noun Prosody
A line of verse consisting of two metrical feet.Poems in iambic dimeters and trimeters are found in abundance in her first book, as are poems written in trochaic measure....
  • The first two lines, containing only monosyllabic words, mix a sing-song dimeter with a grim subject matter.
