Question

What kind of metrical foot accounts for the majority of Wendy Cope’s “Emily Dickinson”?

Answer 1

The meter (or foot) that accounts for the most of "Emily Dickinson," by Wendy Cope is dactylic meter characterized by an accented syllable followed by two unaccented syllables ( marked: /  ᵕ  ᵕ ). She used verse form called double dactyl as there are two stanzas (each have three lines) written with dactylic dimeter (line of verse consisted of two dactylic metrical feet).
