Dimeter
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In poetry, a dimeter /ˈdɪmɪtər/ is a metrical line of verse with two feet. The particular foot, of course, can vary.
Consider Thomas Hood's "Bridge of Sighs:", in which the lines are of two feet, each composed of three syllables:
- Take her up \\ tenderly,
- Lift her \\ with care,
- Fashioned so \\ slenderly,
- Young and \\ so fair.
Also, the first line of William Wordsworth's "We Are Seven":
- A simp \\ le Child[1]
