I don’t distinguish here between
“rising” and “falling” meters; in other words, I count iambs and
trochees as the same, and anapests and dactyls as the same.
So the traditional English meters are simply
two-syllable and three-syllable meters.
Most of my poems are in two-syllable meters,
which of course dominate English metrical poetry.
Rhythms which loosely mix two- and three-syllable feet are under “mixed feet”
(“logaoedic” is not exactly the right word).
Poems with different parts in different meters are under “mixed meters”.
Rhythms which are organized at a level larger than the metrical foot
are under
“sculpted”
or are associated with stanza types.
All poems under “free” are parodies.
