<span>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). </span>
Strumming eighth notes requires a steady up and down motion of the strumming hand. The downstroke should occur on the beat and the upstroke should occur on the 'and'.
