		We started from our houses on what was then the Amphibrach, (now just a family path).
		After crossing the Moose and going through what had been a hayfield beginning to grow up and some young firs, we crossed the railroad (four passenger trains daily and numerous freights) and entered the main forest.
		Once across the railroad, the woods changed to hardwoods, much bigger and shadier, and joined the present Amphibrach near Coldbrook Fall and the Den (still standing and reasonably hospitable if you didn't mind mice).

		Others may disagree and that is their right, but it is perfectly acceptable to mix feet lengths and metric forms as long as it sounds and reads (reasonably) naturally, and is of course done (reasonably) consistently.
		There’s a MAN/ with a GUN/ and he’s WAIT/ -ing for ME Putting the unaccented syllables on either side of the accented one is the only other possibility with three syllables and is called amphibrach or said to be amphibrachic.
		An example of this is in amphibrach above, the form of which can also be achieved in an iamb plus an appropriate number of anapaests (plus a spare unaccented or feminine syllable) as below:

		Maohai and I had not met yet except by way of the net so it was great to drive north, chat and get to know each other a bit.
		The skies in Boston were breaking up but as we drove north, the skies darkened and by time we got to the Appalachia parking lot, at 8:30 it was pouring out and around 40f.
		Although the woods had been hit hard and despite the trail being littered with lots of junk, the limbs were small and a bit of wading over it or walking around it kept the pace up.

	For Those Whose Faith Seems Evangelical
		I understand that it is fairly common for the first foot to be headless, and the last to read as amphibrach, so no questions there.
		Even though line four ends on an unstressed syllable, my intention was not to begin line five with a stressed.
		Because the amphibrach ends an end-stopped line, the pause would act to lessen the disruption of the iambic rhythm.

	dry_ice: [MOD] Challenge: Limericks
		The foot used is usually the amphibrach, a stressed syllable between two unstressed ones.
		However, it can be considered an anapestic foot, two short syllables and then a long, the reverse of dactyl rhythm.
		Bonus points if you can write a limerick (or limerick story, which was a common theme last time) with The Amphibrach as a random side character.

	Foot - Open Poetry Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The most common poetic feet used in English verse are the iamb, anapest, trochee, dactyl and spondee, while in classical verse there are 28 different feet.
		The other metrical feet are the amphibrach, antibacchius, antispast, bacchius, choriamb, cretic, diiamb, dispondee, dochmius, molossus, proceleusmatic, pyrrhic and tribrach, plus two variations of the ionic, four variations of the epitrite, and four variations of the paeon.
		The structure of a poetic foot does not necessarily correspond to word divisions, but is determined in context by the feet which surround it.

		Trying to scan the triple meters, I often felt like the bumpkin at a fancy dinner party, surrounded by unfamiliar cutlery and not sure which implement to use.
		For instance, I read "A Carol for Carolyn" as anapestic: the first line, "I dreamed of a poet who gave me a whale," sounds to me like "The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow." Then I discovered, from one of Finch's interviews, that she had used amphibrachs ("Giving Back to the World").
		The question of how metrical code works in the poems could absorb an entire reading group or seminar; "Elegy" and "Epithalamium" can be shared by anyone who has mourned a parent or cheered a wedding couple.

		The Appalachia trailhead (shown as "trails parking" on some maps) is next along U.S. Route 2, and is the most heavily used trailhead in the Randolph Valley.
		Valley Way is the most often used trail to Mount Madison and AMC's Madison Spring Hut.
		The Amphibrach to Hincks trail is a common combination to Gray Knob, while Amphibrach to Spur trail is a good approach to Crag Camp, though these are frequently not "broken out" in the winter.

		This one is an exercise in trochee monometer with a slight variation to third and seventh lines which are amphibrach.
		Although technically both lines have 10 syllables, depending on view point, one could think it is 5 pairs of stressed/unstressed feet, hence pentameter, etc. I am very rusty over this area.
		I am thinking: each amphibrach has 3 syllables which counts as one foot each, so 2 amphibrach, 1 trochee and 1 iambus makes a tetrameter (4 feet).
