Choreic

/kɔˈreɪɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or written in chorees; characterized by the meter of a choree (long-short syllables).

Etymology

From 'choree' plus '-ic,' an adjectival suffix. Used in prosody and classical poetry studies to describe verse structured in this metrical pattern.

Kelly Says

Choreic verse has a bouncy, falling rhythm that feels different from iambic verse—poets chose choreic meter when they wanted a different mood, and reading ancient Greek with choreic meter literally bounces where iambic verse would stride.
