	Encyclopedia: Trochaic
		Perhaps owing to its simplicity, though, trochaic meter is fairly common in children's rhymes:
		Often a few trochees will be interspersed among iambs in the same lines to develop a more complex or syncopated rhythm.
		By contrast, the intuitive way that the mind groups the syllables in later lines in the same poem makes them feel more like iambic lines with the first syllable dropped:

		Conventional English verse is usually (and confusedly) described in a terminology deriving from classical prosody: as iambic, trochaic, dactylic and anapaestic.
		On an elementary level it may be better to consider metre under two headings: whether the syllables or the stresses are being counted, and whether these counts are fixed or variable.
		The theory uses a simple notation, is readily grasped, and overcomes the knotty problem of distinguishing between rising (iambic) and falling (trochaic) movement.

		Verse is rarely completely regular, but if we a) add the spondee (two unstressed syllables) and the pyrrhic (two stressed syllables), and b) allow individual feet to be replaced (most commonly the iambic by a trochaic foot) then most verse can be scanned succinctly.
		The classification includes type of line (dimeter with two feet, trimeter with three feet, tetrameter with four feet, pentameter with five feet, hexameter with six feet and heptameter with seven feet), and groupings by stanzas of various types.
		These constituents are given the traditional labels of iambic (I), trochaic (T), anapaestic (A), or dactylic (D).
