Dimeter
Dimeter: A line of verse consisting of two metrical feet.
EXAMPLES: The lines “The clock struck one / And down he ran” from the nursery rhyme “Hickory, Dickory, Dock.” Thomas Hardy wrote a number of poems entirely in dimeter, such as “To Lizbie Browne” (1901):
Dear Liz│bie Browne,
Where are│you now?
In sun,│in rain? —
Or is│your brow
Past joy,│past pain,
Dear Liz│bie Browne?
