Answer 1

First, do KNOW what it is? :)?

Answer 2

I have to write some, but I am having a hard time coming up with sentences. I thought that if I had an example it would help the creative juices.

Answer 3

I understand what it is.

Answer 4

Five feet of stressed then unstressed meter.

Answer 5

And, there are different types of pentameters; you want Iambic or Trochaic?

Answer 6

Trochaic

Answer 7

This literary device is a rapid meter of poetry, containing four feet of trochees. Trochees is made up of ONE stressed syllable, leading one unstressed syllable, opposed to iamb.

Example of a flowing line of trochaic tetrameter:

BAboom / BAboom / BAboom / BAboom


Example of a mere sentence CONTAINING this device:

"Here is an example of trochaic tetrameter from The Phoenix and the Turtle:

Reason, in itself confounded,
Saw division grow together,
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded. (41-44) "

Answer 10

Trochaic tetrameter is a meter in poetry. It refers to a line of four trochaic feet. The word "tetrameter" simply means that the poem has four trochees. A trochee is a long syllable, or stressed syllable, followed by a short, or unstressed, one.
