Prosody

Iamb

 Unstressed followed by a stressed

(I am [what] I am; destroy; impose)

Very common in English.

Examples in poetry: “To be or not to be…” (Shakespeare, “Hamlet”)

Trochee

Stressed followed by unstressed.

Is a trochee: 

Topsy-turvey are two trochees.

The sentence “Iamb is also a troche” has its trochees in bold.

“Honour, riches, marriage blessing” (Shakespeare, “Tempest”)

Two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable:

“The Assyrian  came down like a wolf/ on the fold” (I can really hear it in the final two anapests; “Assyrian” is harder for my ear to scan)

“The Cat in the Hat” is written in anapests:

“It sun did not shine.

It was too wet to play.

So we sat in the house,

on that cold, cold wet day.” 

One accented/stressed  syllable followed by two unstressed:

“ten’ der- ly”/Catherine/Jessica. Accordingly to the PHPT, infrequent in English (but for some 19^th century guys like Browning [yay] and Swinburne [diplomatic silence]) .

Wikipedia lists this, and I love it as an example:

“A modern example is the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds":

Picture your self in a boat on a river with

tangerine tree-ees and marmalade skii-ii-es”.
