Explanation:
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: -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).
