I am unsure about how to fully understand how long a foot is in poetry. HELP?

The key to
solving your problem is remembering that poetry is written to be heard. Read the poem you are
analyzing aloud - if necessary, record yourself reading it so you can then focus completely on
the sound of the language, without worrying about reading it.

A
"foot" in a given poem is a specific number of stressed and unstressed syllables
repeated consistently for the length of the poem. There is no one length that applies to
all...
