Detailed explanation-1: -Meter is a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that defines the rhythm of some poetry. These stress patterns are defined in groupings, called feet, of two or three syllables. A pattern of unstressed-stressed, for instance, is a foot called an iamb.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rhythmical pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in verse. The predominant meter in English poetry is accentual-syllabic.
Detailed explanation-3: -As I explained in Rhythm in Poetry – The Basics, some syllables in English are “stressed” – pronounced louder or with more emphasis than others – while other syllables are “unstressed, ” meaning they are not emphasized.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anapest: an anapest (pronounced AN-i-pest) occurs when three syllables follow the pattern unstressed/unstressed/stressed. In other words, the stress happens on the LAST of three syllables (as in interrupt, clarinet, unprepared).
Detailed explanation-5: -Meter. The pattern of stressed and unstressed parts of words is known as the meter. It is the arrangement of words in regularly measured, patterned or rhythmic lines or verses. This can even be measured in metrical feet.
