Anapaest

Anapaest is a type of rhythm used in poetry or music. It's like a pattern of sound that goes "da-da-DUM." So, you say two short sounds followed by a longer, stressed sound. It sounds like you're skipping while saying the words. Another example is the word 'contravene', where the stress is on the last syllable. So, if you say it with the anapaest rhythm, it will go like 'con-tra-VENE!" It's fun to use different rhythms in words and sentences to create a certain feeling or mood. It's like a secret code that poets and musicians use to make their work sound magical and pleasing to the ear.
