There are many types of literature that we tackled in our subject.

One of them is poetry. Poetry is a form of literature which allows writers to


express their thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas about a particular theme or
topic. Most of these poems have a structure they follow. And the part of this is
foot. Foot is a unit of meter and can have two to three syllables that are either
stressed or unstressed.
I read a few poems from time to time. In reading these poems, I
noticed that most often than not there is rhythm. The type of foot determines the
beat the syllable give. The same is followed throughout the poem. Reading it
sounds good and does not seem out of place.
After the discussion, I realized something. Foot is about patterns. The
patterns are the unstressed and stressed syllables. This gives the piece a sense of
rhythm. This gives the poem consistency through the end.
During and after the discussion, I learned a lot. I can apply this in
writing poems. Knowing how to recognize foot can make my poems have better
beat. This can also apply in reading poems. Knowing what the unstressed and
stressed beats can make reading poems fun and enjoyable.
