A metrical foot in poetry consisting of two syllables or two primary stresses.
From Greek 'diplos' (double) and 'pous' (foot), referring to a two-unit metrical structure in classical and modern poetry.
Poets use dipodes to create rhythm—when you read lines with a 'da-DUM da-DUM' pattern, you're hearing dipodic meter that's been used in English poetry for centuries.
