A lyric poem is usually short and expresses the personal emotions or feelings of the narrator. It is very rythmic, and the most common meters used in lyric poetry are iambic, trochaic, pyrrhic and anapestic. However, some lyric poems have a combination of more than one meter.

Lift Every Voice and Sing, by James Weldon Johnson, is a relatively short poem consisting of only 3 stanzas of 10, 11 and 12 lines respectively. The poem uses more than one meter, with the use of iambic meter for some lines. For example: "<em>Yet </em><em>with</em><em> a </em><em>stead</em><em>y </em><em>beat</em><em>,  Have </em><em>not</em><em> our </em><em>wear</em><em>y </em><em>feet</em>"<em>.</em> There is also a lot of rhyming and repetition of patterns throughout the lines, and it deals with vivid imagery to express the emotions of the narrator. All of those elements are characteristic of a lyric poem.

What Is Iambic Tetrameter?
marin [14]
An "iamb" is a word or set of words that goes 'da-DAH', like "my KNEE",
or "your FACE", or "his DOG", or "come HERE".

Many poems have the same rhythm (beat) in each line, and there are different
rhythms they can have.  I can show you that, if I take a poem you know, and
recite it first with the correct beat, and then with the wrong beat.

Here's the correct beat:
MAH-ree HAD a LIT-tle LAMB its FLEECE was WHITE as SNOW.

For the wrong beat, let's use 'iambs' like I explained up above:
ma-REE had A lit-TLE lamb ITS fleece WAS white AS snow.

If a poem is in the rhythm of "iambic tetrameter", then each line is
made out iambs, and there are 4 of them ("tetra") in each line.

Now I have to try and find an example for you.  Thank you very much.

I'll make one up.  Remember, an iamb goes 'da-DAH":

my DOG came IN-to SCHOOL one DAY
and CHASED the HAM-sters ALL a-ROUND.
the PRIN-ci-PLE came IN-to CLASS
and TOOK my DOG down TO the POUND.

(The dog 'pound' is the shelter for stray dogs.)
