A N A P A E S T S
By Josie Whitehead
Anapaests
Anapaests, like their name,
Have a musical beat
As they glide on the page
On their two dancing feet.
Anapaests sing a song:
Diddy DUM diddy DUM
And now listen: they sound
Like the beat of a drum.
Anapaests waltz along
Through the words on your page
And they’re good for we poets,
Whatever our age.
An-a-PAESTS, an-a-PAESTS!
What a clear rhythmic beat
As you tap to this metre's
Melodious feet.

Note: (Metric feet in poetry): A poetic foot is a basic repeated sequence of meter composed of two or more accented or unaccented syllables. It puts poetry on a par with music and song.
