1. The other feet are: trochees, Anapests, dactyls, and spondees

2. But a line with iambs and trochees cannot feature dactyls or Anapests, and vice versa, because they are not equal in length

3. The characteristic Anacreontic lines consist of a pyrrhic foot, two trochees, and a spondee, for which the nearest regular English counterpart would be trochaic tetrameter.)

4. Anapests are rare in spoken English, and in English-language poetry Anapests are far less common than dactyls, iambs, and trochees.

5. Mixing Iambs and Anapests (and also Trochees and Dactyls) works really well in a story because, as in the lines above, a reader never really notices (unless they are specifically looking) if there are one or two UNstressed syllables in between the STRESSED ones.

6. Each line of a poem contains a certain number of feet of iambs, trochees, spondees, dactyls or Anapests. A line of one foot is a monometer, 2 feet is a dimeter, and so on--trimeter (3), tetrameter (4), pentameter (5), hexameter (6), heptameter (7), and o ctameter (8)

7. "of or in the manner of Anacreon," the "convivial bard of Greece," celebrated lyrical poet (560-478 B.C.E.), born at Teos in Ionia.Also in reference to his lyric form (1706) of a four-line stanza, rhymed alternately, each line with four beats (three trochees and a long syllable), also "convivial and Amatory" (1801); and "an erotic poem celebrating love and wine" (1650s).
