There are several different types of meter based on the various patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables（Fig 3） Trochee is the meter with stressed syllables followed by unstressed syllables. That is very similar to the music with a time signature of 2/4 （Fig 1） or 4/4（Fig 2）. “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”is one of the best examples of this pattern. Questions： Are you able to highlight the stressed syllables? Homework： Write a poem including ripple，summer，light，grace etc words. You may post your homework as a main post.
"The Star" （感谢 移花接木 推荐）
by Jane Taylor （Wrote in 1806）
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the trav'ller in the dark, Thanks you for your tiny spark, He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep, And often thro' my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky.
'Tis your bright and tiny spark, Lights the trav'ller in the dark: Tho' I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
