So I have this poetry assignment where I have to pick 25 poetry terms (Rhyme, Irony, Rune, etc.), define them, and find two examples for each term. I've done all but three terms when it comes to finding examples.

Trochee: A metrical foot with a unstressed syllable prior to a stressed syllable.

Scansion: The analysis of verse into metrical patterns.

Foot: A rhythmic or metrical unit; the division in verse of a group of syllables, one of which is long or accented.

So, could anyone maybe help me find some real poems to use as examples?

Teehee, look up the terms on Wikipedia. They usually have examples of poems!

Also... what kind of foot poem? If in doubt, you may want to choose "The Jabberwocky."

Thanks, Karina!

And when it comes to the foot one, oddly, it was just foot. I think maybe it doesn't matter which type of foot poem I do. *shrug* I'll figure it out.

Maybe take a look at Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Metrical Feet- A Lesson For A Boy".
