Poetry is a type of literature that conveys a thought.
Poetry has its
structure. This includes meter which is stressed and unstressed syllables of the words in a poem are arranged in repeating pattern. Foot is the unit of this meter. There are different types of feet which include trochee, anapest, dactyl, spondee, pyrrhic, and iamb. These differ from one another in their arrangement of unstressed and stressed syllables. In my experience, recognizing what type of foot is used can be very hard. It is not easy to recognize if the syllable is stressed or unstressed. When I tried to apply it in a poem in the internet, I have an entirely different answer than what was placed there. I did try to understand it better but still had the same results. For me, this topic is really hard. After the discussion, I realize that foot is how long a stanza can be. It determines the words rhythm. It shows how the stanzas intensity and character. This makes reading the piece more interesting. I also realized that the foot can be determined depending on the arrangement of the syllables. This knowledge I learned can be applied in a few ways. I can use this to determine the rhythm of a poem. I can also use what I learned to improve my way of writing poems. I can make my poems more interesting to the readers even if I am not good at making them. And also, I can use this knowledge to enjoy reading more poems.
